  You don't say how old she was, but having two kids and hormones shouldn't cause a problem - at least not for smell in that area. She may have had thrush or a bacterial problem though..certainly worth a quick trip to the doctor to find out. I'd imagine that it was quite offputting and you can hardly blurt out that she stinks in that area, particularly during sex ;-)

  Not hormones. Just the natural ph levels in her vagina were not quite right. It can cause a very strong odour. You can get things from the chemist to correct it pretty easily....over the counter. Sometimes it can be a sign of cancer of the cervix but I would say the ph balance is the problem.

  Errr.. yes... or a funky snapper could be caused by an STD.Have you been tested lately? I mean, I am not trying to be alarmist but people get around with teh slightest of symptoms and go untested for years, spreading their nasty shit around to others who never get tested.... I mean to say... havent you seen the ads?HugsStalky

  She should have gone to a doctor. Bacterial vagiosis. Not necessarily and STI however can be exacerbated by one. If the bacterial growth is out of control and causing an unpleasant odour this can easily be fixed up. She may not know she smells. Was it a fishy odour?I'm with Stalky - people who have any type of non-committed/monagamous sex should definitely get tested regularly.I had a friend recently get told by the guy she was seeing that he had syphilils (I was all WTF - who gets syphilis these days?). Anyway, it had been 2 years between STI tests and he wasn't contagious (if that's the right word) when they bonked, however who knows how many people he did shag when he was in phase 1 & 2 stages! How do you go back through 2 years of sexual partners to tell them? Would you even be able to?I don't trust anyone, as I've mentioned before, and get tested regularly even though I'm not even shagging randoms anymore, and anytime there is any change in my vaginal health I'm off to the Dr straight away. However, not everyone is as in touch with their vagina and secretions and habits and smell as I am, so a little mention, maybe along the lines of "oh, you smell a bit different today sweety, have you been well lately?" might not have gone astray.As it is, you don't know if it was just normal bacteria gone wild, or an STI - many STI's do not show with symptoms in men. So I'd receommend you get to the Dr's and get swabbed and stabbed! Note - HSV(herpes) and HPV(warts) are never tested as part of your standard battery of STI tests.

  Sounds most like bacterial vaginosis. Quite often caused by foreign objects, like penises, tongues and fingers and especially some men's sperm. It is not actually an STI but it could well have been you that caused it if you were her only lover at the time. Even if she got it treated with a dose of antibiotics, it could come back again quite easily from the same lover who caused it in the first place.

  From the sounds of it...you were in an intimate relationship regardless of the the nature so why woud it not be something that a gentleman would approach in conversation and from a caring perspective? Sure, you would want to be sure to approach the subject with the right coversational framework...but why wouldn't you? There are any number of levels of friendship and intimacy...I doubt that you would have crossed any lines. | The human body is amazing...anything from an odour to a repetitive cold sore can be indicative of something that would warrant a discussion with a medical professional and really, you could just be saving a life. Could be hers or even your own...think about it. | Any number of diseases can be dormant in our systems for many years...syphilis amongst them, that are not contagious through the varying lifecycle of the disease until it is indeed too late. Some strains of virulent warts can survive an autoclave...and passed along via a tattoo needle only to appear as symptomatic anywhere from 2 to 7 years later. All games have rules...and this is one of them. Too, there is nothing wrong with being very human and caring about someone that you are intimate with on any level. | See a doctor...prevention is always better than a cure and nothing will ever replace an early diagnosis if treatment is necessary.

  couldve been from one or more of dozens of reasons...from personal hygiene to reactions to soaps, to habits after intercourse or even a medication reaction......... its all normal. no one heres a doctor, so yea she should have a professional have a look see, rather than you seeking advice from a bunch of internet hacks who might steer you in the completely wrong direction. it could even be just a reaction to yourself....but she needs to know, if she wants to that is.
