Hi sex witch! Does BV normally cause itching? I got fingered in a cave a few days ago by someone whose hands were a bit unclean and covered in cave dust and now my vagina is itchy. I assume it's a yeast infection but I can't see any discharge and I've seen different websites saying different things about whether or not BV can make you itch? (Side note, I will of course see a doctor if I'm unsure!! I would just rather pick something up from the pharmacy as it's quicker :) )

hi anon,

bacterial vaginosis doesn't always present the same way in everyone; sometimes it causes itching and sometimes it has no symptoms. best to check in with a healthcare provider if you're not sure exactly what you're working with, especially given the cave dust of it all. can't believe I have to say this but don't let people finger you when their hands are covered in cave dust. I try not to be judgmental but christ.

Having a vagina honestly sucks bc it's like you have to do fucking alchemy just to prevent yourself from getting sick. You've got an intricate ecosystem of microorganisms down there that you're dependent on for your own well-being and they can be set off by the tiniest fucking thing

Keeping your pubes too short can cause yeast infections, but letting them get too long can also cause yeast infections. Washing the area with specialized soap can help prevent yeast infections, but it can also cause them. Your periods can cause yeast infections, and so can the medicine you take to stop your periods. Having sex can cause yeast infections, especially if the person you're having sex with is diabetic (???). Being diabetic can cause yeast infections. Wearing the wrong clothes or eating the wrong things can cause yeast infections. Not getting enough fucking sleep can cause yeast infections. The list is neverending

Luckily, yeast infections are fairly easy to treat with OTC medicine that you can find at any Walmart. BUT! Even if all of your symptoms indicate that you have a yeast infection, you have to take a test first to confirm that it's a yeast infection (they do not sell the tests at Walmart) bc you might actually have the opposite of a yeast infection (bacterial vaginosis) which has the exact same symptoms as a yeast infection but is caused by an imbalance of different microorganisms. And if you use yeast infection medicine to treat a bacterial infection it will light your pussy on fire. So if you have a bacterial infection, you must instead visit your local witch doctor (gynecologist) and get prescribed special potions (antibiotics) to treat it

Antibiotics can also cause yeast infections

The reason your brain feels shitty when you don't shower is bc the human body remembers its humble origins as a protovertebrate aquatic worm that breathed through its skin so when your pores get clogged the worm part of your brain thinks you're suffocating and gets scared. Going into the wet regularly helps keep your worm brain calm and happy bc it keeps your skin clean and also simulates the worm's natural environment of the old mid-cambrian ocean. Take care of your worm brain. It's hard being the evolutionary remnant of a creature so tiny it can't understand lungs trapped inside the body of a large complex mammal

Hi!

Sorry if I'm getting too to the point, but this question has been on my mind for quite some time and I'm embarrassed to ask my parents.

Is it normal for my vagina to have a fishy odor and to smell too much? It's usually not very strong, but sometimes I can smell the smell and I'm embarrassed that someone else can smell it.

Thanks for reading this question!

Hi Anon,

Without being able to examine you myself, or take a health history, I would err on the side of asking your doctor - even your pediatrician. I know you're embarrassed to ask your parents, but is it possible just to ask for a check-in? Do you have a mom/parent who needs gynecologic healthcare, who would be understanding?

This could be just that you are sensitive to what is a normal smell. During menstrual cycle fluctuations, the odors can vary, and sometimes even be mildly fishy. In this case, it's really unlikely anyone else is smelling it. Does the smell come and go? If you're a young adolescent who has never had intercourse, this is the most likely cause.

It's also possible you could have an imbalance in your normal vaginal flora that has allowed a bacterial infection to set in, called bacterial vaginosis (or BV, for short). BV usually comes with other symptoms, like a thin/watery greyish discharge; itching around the vulva; or a burning sensation when peeing. Although it's not a sexually transmitted disease, it's much less common in people who have not had sex. The treatment is a short course of an antibiotic. Do you have any other symptoms?

Finally, there is an uncommon condition called trimethylaminuria (TMAU), which is when you lack the enzyme to break down certain compounds, and it leaves your breath, sweat, and vaginal secretions with an odor that can be described as fishy or sulfurous. Is it just your vaginal secretions, or do you notice it elsewhere in your body?

---

Sorry I can't be more help here, Anon, without more information. I hope you can find a way to talk to your doctor or trust your parents, just so you can rule out anything.

Note to all teens: When you visit your doctor, you should be seen without your parents in the room, for at least a part of the visit. This is the time when you should be able to ask these kinds of questions.

[tteokdoroki]

Fish smell can be a sign of BV (bacterial vaginosis) but only if it's paired with stuff like irritation, discharge, itching, burning etc. Otherwise there's nothing to be concerned about.

If there is a fishy smell (without those symptoms) absolutely don't try to clean inside with soap or anything like that all its gonna do is throw your pH off and make the smell worse because your body is designed to take care of that stuff on its own.

Soap, lube/condom lubricant, jizz, anything that gets up there throws off the pH and causes a smell, but it'll resolve itself in a day or two, just wash with warm water <3

!!!!! the more yew know

[kiy8mis]

for anyone else coming from a similar background, because i believe everyone has a right to be well educated about their own bodies, here are some vaginal discharge facts:

1. it’s supposed to be there— it is completely 100% normal and healthy to be constantly throughout the day getting your underwear damp

2. the consistency and even the smell/taste change depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. the thick, egg white consistency discharge happens during ovulation, and “The Slime” is a thinner, slippery discharge that you tend to get right before and after menstruation (the consistency means it tends to get everywhere and feel like a period). as you approach ovulation, your discharge should get more opaque and less slippery— i hate the word creamy, but it’s the best word to describe what this texture is moving towards.

3. discharge contains vaginal flora (good bacteria that are necessary for a healthy vagina) which produce lactic acid, which keeps your vagina acidic to prevent infection. two effects of this are that your discharge will have an odor that may change based on your cycle and also as you age, and it will eventually bleach your underwear. these are both completely healthy and normal phenomena. there is no amount of washing, douching, or perfuming that will get rid of the smell or stop your vagina from secreting discharge, and doing those things disrupts the little ecosystem of helpful/necessary bacteria and yeast in your vagina (called your microbiome) and makes you significantly more susceptible to yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis.

4. here’s a list of discharge characteristics that ARE a cause for concern (likely not comprehensive):

- foul/fishy odor— the important thing here is to be sure that it’s the actual discharge that smells bad and that you’re not also smelling sweat/body odor. you sweat and have body odor in your crotch just like in your armpits, and that sweat/odor will get on your vulva and vaginal opening during the regular course of your day. if your actual discharge smells bad, you likely have an infection.

- ammonia/urine smell or anything chemical-smelling— also indicative of infection, be sure that it’s actually the discharge that smells bad and that you aren’t also smelling urine (easier to do than you’d think).

- grey, green, or yellow color— indicates infection, particularly if you have itching/burning/pain or if the discharge on its own smells bad

- pink/red/brown color IF you’re nowhere near your period and you don’t have a history of spotting (those colors are usually period-related but sometimes they happen for other reasons, this one is less concerning than the others but if it happens regularly when you’re not on/about to be on your period and/or if it comes with any of the above symptoms then please see a doctor)

- milky/cloudy white IF it looks different then your more opaque discharge normally does, if it has weird texture, if it smells like fish/smells foul (the actual discharge, not your vulva) and/or if it occurs alongside any kind of itching, burning, or pain

- chunky, cottage cheese texture, frothy/bubbly— indicate infection

- thick and creamy IF it seems like more than usual/comes out faster than usual, doesn’t look like your opaque discharge normally looks, smells fishy (again, make sure it’s not just body odor), or comes with any of the aforementioned symptoms.

side note about “fishiness”: between the natural odor of vaginal discharge, the sweat glands you have in your crotch area, and the fact that most of the time you’re probably wearing underwear and maybe even pants, it is normal for your vulva to have an odor that you notice when you take off your pants/underwear even if you just showered this morning. the odor is very likely to be stronger if your underwear/pants are made of synthetic fabrics that hinder airflow and prevent sweat from evaporating. the odor may also become stronger if you sit in one place for a long time, particularly with your legs crossed— you sweat more in that position and the sweat can’t escape as easily as when you stand/walk. anyone who tells you that “smelling fishy” is a sign of bad hygiene is either misinformed or bigoted (tends to be the same people that refer to vulvas as “roast beef” and claim a vagina can get loose from too much penetrative sex… i’m sure you all know the type).

having a uterus SUCKS man bc all day you'll be feeling the "hey bestie check your pants 😃 check it right now 😃 you might be getting your period 😃 hey bestie i think youre bleeding 😃" and then when you check if you got your period and your body is like WRONG ❌️ its The Slime

Ideally, your urine should be pale yellow and clear. But if you’ve ever noticed it appears milky or hazy, you may be wondering, “Why is my pee cloudy?” While cloudy pee can be alarming, there’s good news to report: “Cloudy urine is often linked to a few different factors, and it’s not always something to worry about, “ assures Raj Dasgupta, MD, Chief Medical Advisor for Garage Gym Reviews. “Most of the time, once the cause is identified, clearing up cloudy urine can be fairly simple.” Here, we break down what causes cloudy pee, along with the best ways to treat it. Why is my pee cloudy? 5 causes and cures Some of the most common culprits behind cloudy urine include: For a UTI, sip cranberry juice “Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common causes of cloudy urine,” says Dr. Dasgupta. “They bring in white blood cells, bacteria and mucus, which can make the urine look cloudy.”  Cloudy urine from a UTI usually comes with other symptoms like a burning sensation when you pee, a constant need to go (even if it’s just a little) and a lower abdominal ache, he adds. “You might also notice a strong, unpleasant smell or even blood in the urine if the infection is more advanced.” Natural remedies like cranberry juice, cranberry supplements or d-mannose can be helpful for easing the discomfort associated with mild UTIs. (See our round-up of the best doctor-backed home remedies for a UTI here.) But Dr. Daguspta cautions they’re not effective treatments for more advanced infections.  Your best bet: Heading to your doctor or a urology specialist for urine tests that can diagnose a UTI and guide antibiotic treatment. “Delaying treatment could make the infection worse or lead to complications, like a kidney infection,” Dr. Dasgupta cautions. “It’s better to act quickly if the symptoms don’t ease up.” For dehydration, drink more water When you’re dehydrated, your urine becomes more concentrated. “This concentration increases the levels of waste products like urea and creatinine, which can cause the urine to appear cloudy,” Dr. Dasgupta explains. Along with cloudy pee, dehydration may cause symptoms like dark yellow or amber-colored urine, a dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness and infrequent urination. Symptoms such as dizziness and confusion can signal severe dehydration that calls for immediate medical attention and IV fluid replacement, adds Aleece Fosnight, PA-C, medical advisor to Aeroflow Urology and board-certified physician assistant .  But Dr. Dasgupta notes that drinking more water can help correct cloudiness caused by milder cases. “Aiming for at least eight cups (about two liters) of water a day is a good rule of thumb, though individual needs may vary,” he says. “The key is to stay well-hydrated throughout the day, which helps keep urine clear and reduces cloudiness.” For a vaginal infection, try a prescription antibiotic or antifungal  “A bacterial infection known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections are among the most common causes of vaginal infections that could lead to cloudy urine,” notes Dr. Dasgupta. “Both conditions are fairly common and can cause noticeable changes in vaginal discharge.” The discharge then mixes with urine to produce cloudiness.  Other clues that a vaginal infection is your cloudiness culprit: “For BV, you might notice a thin, grayish discharge with a fishy smell, along with mild itching or irritation,” Dr. Dasgupta explains. “Yeast infections, on the other hand, usually come with thick, white discharge (like cottage cheese), intense itching and redness.”  If you experience cloudy pee along with the symptoms above, visit your doctor. “While these infections aren’t usually serious, getting the right treatment can help you feel better faster and avoid complications,” Dr. Dasgupta assures. “For BV, antibiotics are typically prescribed, and yeast infections are treated with antifungal medications, either as a cream, vaginal suppository or pill. Most infections clear up within a few days to a week once treatment begins.” For kidney stones, up your fluid intake Kidney stones trigger cloudy pee through two major mechanisms. “One is the kidney stone itself may cause a urinary tract infection that makes urine cloudy,” Fosnight explains. “Two, the kidney stone typically develops from minerals and crystals, which causes cloudiness of the urine secondary to the increased particle concentration.” Cloudiness due to kidney stones can also be accompanied by changes in urine color, especially redness due to hematuria or blood in urine, adds Fosnight. Other symptoms she cites: Flank pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, urinary frequency and/or urgency, dysuria (pain or burning with urination), malodorous urine and decreased urine output. If you experience such symptoms, Fosnight recommends seeing a medical professional who can conduct a CT scan that evaluates the abdomen and pelvis. If kidney stones are detected, treatment differs depending on their size.  “If the stone is 5 mm or less, individuals are typically able to pass them on their own with increased fluids and alpha blocker medications (like Flomax) to help dilate the ureter and ease the passage,” she says. “For stones 5 mm or larger or smaller stones that are not passing on their own, surgical intervention with ureteroscopy (a scope that goes through the ureter) and/or lithotripsy may be required.” For high blood sugar, visit your doctor Normally, your kidneys filter and reabsorb glucose back into the bloodstream. But when blood sugar levels get too high, the kidneys can’t keep up and the extra glucose ends up in your urine. This is a condition called glucosuria that can make pee cloudy, Dr. Dasgupta explains. “Along with cloudy urine, glucosuria can cause a sweet or fruity smell in your pee,” he says. “You might also notice symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination or feeling unusually tired—common signs of elevated blood sugar. Infections like UTIs are also more likely in this scenario.” Your best course of action If you think your cloudy pee is related to high blood sugar: Head to your doctor as soon as possible. “Doctors diagnose glucosuria using a simple urine test, often alongside blood tests to confirm high glucose levels and check overall health,” Dr. Dasgupta notes. “Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar, which might include lifestyle changes, medications or insulin, depending on your condition.” This content is not a substitute for professional medical advice or diagnosis.

If kidney stones are detected, treatment differs depending on their size.  “If the stone is 5 mm or less, individuals are typically able to pass them on their own with increased fluids and alpha blocker medications (like Flomax) to help dilate the ureter and ease the passage,” she says. “For stones 5 mm or larger or smaller stones that are not passing on their own, surgical intervention with ureteroscopy (a scope that goes through the ureter) and/or lithotripsy may be required.” For high blood sugar, visit your doctor Normally, your kidneys filter and reabsorb glucose back into the bloodstream. But when blood sugar levels get too high, the kidneys can’t keep up and the extra glucose ends up in your urine. This is a condition called glucosuria that can make pee cloudy, Dr. Dasgupta explains. “Along with cloudy urine, glucosuria can cause a sweet or fruity smell in your pee,” he says. “You might also notice symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination or feeling unusually tired—common signs of elevated blood sugar. Infections like UTIs are also more likely in this scenario.” Your best course of action If you think your cloudy pee is related to high blood sugar: Head to your doctor as soon as possible. “Doctors diagnose glucosuria using a simple urine test, often alongside blood tests to confirm high glucose levels and check overall health,” Dr. Dasgupta notes. “Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar, which might include lifestyle changes, medications or insulin, depending on your condition.” This content is not a substitute for professional medical advice or diagnosis.

Ideally, your urine should be pale yellow and clear. But if you’ve ever noticed it appears milky or hazy, you may be wondering, “Why is my pee cloudy?” While cloudy pee can be alarming, there’s good news to report: “Cloudy urine is often linked to a few different factors, and it’s not always something to worry about, “ assures Raj Dasgupta, MD, Chief Medical Advisor for Garage Gym Reviews. “Most of the time, once the cause is identified, clearing up cloudy urine can be fairly simple.” Here, we break down what causes cloudy pee, along with the best ways to treat it. Why is my pee cloudy? 5 causes and cures Some of the most common culprits behind cloudy urine include: For a UTI, sip cranberry juice “Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common causes of cloudy urine,” says Dr. Dasgupta. “They bring in white blood cells, bacteria and mucus, which can make the urine look cloudy.”  Cloudy urine from a UTI usually comes with other symptoms like a burning sensation when you pee, a constant need to go (even if it’s just a little) and a lower abdominal ache, he adds. “You might also notice a strong, unpleasant smell or even blood in the urine if the infection is more advanced.” Natural remedies like cranberry juice, cranberry supplements or d-mannose can be helpful for easing the discomfort associated with mild UTIs. (See our round-up of the best doctor-backed home remedies for a UTI here.) But Dr. Daguspta cautions they’re not effective treatments for more advanced infections.  Your best bet: Heading to your doctor or a urology specialist for urine tests that can diagnose a UTI and guide antibiotic treatment. “Delaying treatment could make the infection worse or lead to complications, like a kidney infection,” Dr. Dasgupta cautions. “It’s better to act quickly if the symptoms don’t ease up.” For dehydration, drink more water When you’re dehydrated, your urine becomes more concentrated. “This concentration increases the levels of waste products like urea and creatinine, which can cause the urine to appear cloudy,” Dr. Dasgupta explains. Along with cloudy pee, dehydration may cause symptoms like dark yellow or amber-colored urine, a dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness and infrequent urination. Symptoms such as dizziness and confusion can signal severe dehydration that calls for immediate medical attention and IV fluid replacement, adds Aleece Fosnight, PA-C, medical advisor to Aeroflow Urology and board-certified physician assistant .  But Dr. Dasgupta notes that drinking more water can help correct cloudiness caused by milder cases. “Aiming for at least eight cups (about two liters) of water a day is a good rule of thumb, though individual needs may vary,” he says. “The key is to stay well-hydrated throughout the day, which helps keep urine clear and reduces cloudiness.” For a vaginal infection, try a prescription antibiotic or antifungal  “A bacterial infection known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections are among the most common causes of vaginal infections that could lead to cloudy urine,” notes Dr. Dasgupta. “Both conditions are fairly common and can cause noticeable changes in vaginal discharge.” The discharge then mixes with urine to produce cloudiness.  Other clues that a vaginal infection is your cloudiness culprit: “For BV, you might notice a thin, grayish discharge with a fishy smell, along with mild itching or irritation,” Dr. Dasgupta explains. “Yeast infections, on the other hand, usually come with thick, white discharge (like cottage cheese), intense itching and redness.”  If you experience cloudy pee along with the symptoms above, visit your doctor. “While these infections aren’t usually serious, getting the right treatment can help you feel better faster and avoid complications,” Dr. Dasgupta assures. “For BV, antibiotics are typically prescribed, and yeast infections are treated with antifungal medications, either as a cream, vaginal suppository or pill. Most infections clear up within a few days to a week once treatment begins.” For kidney stones, up your fluid intake Kidney stones trigger cloudy pee through two major mechanisms. “One is the kidney stone itself may cause a urinary tract infection that makes urine cloudy,” Fosnight explains. “Two, the kidney stone typically develops from minerals and crystals, which causes cloudiness of the urine secondary to the increased particle concentration.” Cloudiness due to kidney stones can also be accompanied by changes in urine color, especially redness due to hematuria or blood in urine, adds Fosnight. Other symptoms she cites: Flank pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, urinary frequency and/or urgency, dysuria (pain or burning with urination), malodorous urine and decreased urine output.
