I am 43 and for the past 9 months I have had a vaginal odor that is strong but not fishy that is noticeable by others also with that very painful tearing type feeling when trying to have sex. Just before period and ovulating strong itching and swelling occur. The past 3 months I have cut down on carbs and the itching and swelling have been reduced by 80%. However the smell is always there and the sex pain is still present so I have not had sex but 3 times in 6 months(married and not happy) Yeast infections have been ruled out. I even wondered if I could have lost a tampon?? It does hurt like crazy to remove tampons - so I have stopped using them. Please help--WE are sooo frustrated and miserable.

Hi Jill: How was yeast infection ruled out? And if it was by a test, does your husband use condoms? You could have had a severe alergic reaction. But with the itching, the smell and painful sex that IS yeast infection. So ask you doctor to give you another test, ALSO start taking yogurt with pro biotics. There is no other symptom, other that an alergic reaction or infection that has your symptoms. Good luck and please keep me posted!

bambi27 has offered up a lot of good advice. One thing I'm curious about though is if have seen a doctor yet about this? It sounds to me like you haven't mentioned going to a doctor yet and I think that would be a good idea for helping you with your symptoms. It would help rule out an issue like having lost a tampon or even a yeast infection like bambi27 was asking about. Keep us posted!

Seeing a doctor would be a good idea. A doctor can check you properly to determine what is happening to your body.
