As a healthcare professional, I felt compelled to respond to the recent “Tastes like chicken” Bitch concerning the smell of a woman’s vagina. The facts given were not only inaccurate, but potentially harmful. A “fishy” odour is indicative of not only a bacterial infection but also STIs that may render the carrier infertile. If you or your partner notice a change in your feminine scent do not “keep on licking” but rather be mature enough to talk about it, just like you would if you discovered a lump in your partner’s breast or scrotum.
