Can taking lithium give me a bad odor from my vagina?

There are many infections possible. Do not treat this as a yeast infection. See a doctor right away. This could be an STD.

i agree with endlesspred, as i said you need to go and see a dr. if it keeps on happening..definitely could be one of many things, std's included..do not treat this lightly..please take good care..just because it goes away doesn't mean it is gone..you still need to see a dr..hugs!!!

Thanks so much guys I re-asked the question with more details. I have been to the Dr. I was taking antibiotics. I had an infection and it was treated, but this smell remained. My boyfriend notices no odor at all. It's not an STD I go to my GYNO regularly I though maybe even the meds were effecting my perception of smell. I have no redness itching or discharge..in fact nothing out of the ordinary. =) I do appreciate your time.

By any chance were you taking endomyacin? This does leave a weird smell and taste that lingers after use. Just wondering...

No I wasn't. I never heard of it. It has passed it seems. It went on for about 3 months. Strangest thing. I guess I'll never know what it was. It is the reason I did make my appointment at the GYNO though ;) thanks so much.

Glad to hear you are doing better. I meant to spell erythromycin.

Take care, Karen

i think it sounds as though you have a yeast infection... have you been on any antibiotics lately? i would go and see a gyn dr. to make sure it isn't anything else, though... good luck and feel better soon..oh, you didn't mention any itching, do you have it?

some meds affect your sense of smell, something i take does..haven't figured out which one it is though... i drive my boyfriend crazyby asking him if he smells smoke or whatever i am smelling at the time... i hope this passes for you! take good care !!!

It can cause vaginal dryness, but odor is indicitive of an infection.

No, it would not do this. You may have an infection.
