    Question

    I would like if you could help me out. I been having a really bad odor specially wen having sex. I thought it could be a yeast infection I bought yeast medicine but it dosen't go away and also I use douches almost every time I have my period. Could that be a problem ?

    Answer

    Douching is a really bad idea! It can push everything up into you iterus. Please see a doctor or someone at Planned Parenthood to be screened for sexually transmitted infections.
