I've noticed past 4months now my discharge seems to be smelling very strong. To the poit where I have to change my trousers throughout the day as it lingers on them! It seems to be a fishy and slightly metallic smell. I want to my GP a few weeks ago and they did a test for any bacterial infection and it came back negative. They did give me antibiotics at the time and from what i can remember it did seem to dim the smell. But its back as atrong as before again now. Does anyone have an idea what else this could be??? I'm worried people can smell it! It's not me having a strong sense of smell.

I struggle to find time to go to my doctos so if anyone had any advice I would appreciate it Smile

Metallic Smell/discharge

I have the same problem and have had it on and off for years. The doctors always test for yeast and bacteria, and it always comes back negative. Since I had a baby two years ago it's only gotten worse and more consistant. If you've found a solution since this post please let me know what's worked for you.
