I have a bit of a weird question . Did anyone have any issues with odor ? Soon after my pain started back in March I started to get a really foul smell. In May when I started bleeding rhe smell went away. And now the last few days the odor is back.
Hi Nit.Thu57
There are no weird questions on here.
My only symptom was bleeding. There was no odour. That does not mean that others have not had this though.
Maybe it's something that is worth mentioning to your doctor- just for some reassurance that there is no infection etc.

Hi Nit.Thu57 I did. Before my diagnosis I became increasingly aware I was a bit “whiffy” and itchy down below and also my belly button was weepy. At the time it was put down to a fungal infection. I was prescribed Eumovate which helped but didn’t clear the problem. Since my diagnosis and subsequent hysterectomy, the odour has gone.
Hi Nit.Thu57 my only symptoms pre diagnosis were a pinkish/brown discharge and some bright red spotting but no odour. I've had a couple of UTIs a few months after my brachytherapy, which I don't normally get, but no other infections. Antibiotics cleared them up.You could mention it to your CNS or, perhaps, check it out with your GP.
This might sound really stupid but when I am washing down below (I use Simple soap and gel) anyway when I wash the right hand side of my lady bits I don't smell anything but when I go to wash the le hand side there is definitely an odor because I can smell it off my sponge
so I ash out my spong and then I do the process again there I have a smelly left hand fanny flaps so I rinse again untill the stink goes away I have asked hubby he has said he has but sometimes he thinks I am over exaggerating something that is not as bad as I think it is
