2. Trichomoniasis
A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite.
Can cause a fishy smell, green/yellow discharge, itching, and discomfort.
Treated with prescription medication.
3. Poor hygiene or trapped sweat
Sweat, tight clothing, or infrequent washing can trap bacteria and moisture.
While not always a “fishy” smell, it can cause an unpleasant odor.
4. Menstruation or leftover tampons
A forgotten tampon can cause a very strong, rotten smell, which may be mistaken for fishy.
When To Worrry
See a doctor if:
– The smell is persistent, strong, or worsening.
– You have other symptoms like itching, discharge, or discomfort.
– There’s a chance of an STI or a forgotten tampon.
