bacterial vaginosis
I think I have that cause I had a nasty odor and I douched to get rid of it
Its mostly gone right now but I read something about if you have BV not to douche right after I did and it said it can give you stronger odors and maybe even more infection.
I want to know if this is true cause I'm very scared about it I really don't want anything worse to happen

BV usually has a fishy smell to it and will need antibiotics to clear it up completely. It's quite a common thing for women to get, mostly if they are sexually active.
Douching is generally not a good idea as it disturbs the natural cleansing bacterial system that nature put in place. It is particularly not recommended to do this if you already have BV.
I have included a website with more information, but if you have this, please go to your doctors as left untreated, it could have serious consequences for your health.

You need to see your gynecologist. BV needs to be treated with medication to be sure everything gets back the way it should be.
Douching is no longer recommended by gynecologists. Talk to your doctor about it and get her opinion about whether or not you should continue this practice.
