should it smell?
Hey,
Ive been having my period irregularly for a year and i think that it is becoming normal now. But when i have it, it smells weird/not normal everytime. kind of like fish but not really, and no one can smell it but me (i can only when im going to the bathroom). Is this normal or not and if no ones heard of it, should i get it checked out?

I take exception to the suggestion of douching--it's generally considered a bad idea. Your vagina is generally self-maintaining. It is an acidic balance that kills the good bacteria without killing the good. Douching can, among other things, leave you more open to
That said, if this happens consistently around your period, and not constantly, it's probably nothing to worry about. If your discharge is curdled, like cottage cheese, on the other hand, it's time to be concerned. A constant fishy scent can also be indicative of a problem, as can frequent itching, or painful urination.
If you're worried, you should probably get it checked out just in case. It can't hurt, and it might save you from some discomfort.

It is absoloutley positively completeley normal. EVERY girl is going through the same thing. i've only had my period for about half a year, and its already regular, and it smells disgusting.you could douche if you want, which is basically cleansing the vagina, but unless you're really worried and think it's something very serious, then you should go see your doctor. otherwise, it's not worth the cash you loose.
hope i helped

Yes, this is completely normal. In fact, it happens to just about all of us girls/women. So there is absolutely nothing you have to worry about. You can buy products at the store, for vaginal odor, if it really bothers you.
