I am age 19. I had been having unprotected sex with my partner but we broke up last year. Sometimes in march, I had sex but with a condom. After that, I noticed I started smelling down there, fishy and rotten egg smell, which gets worse when my period is near. I never used to smell at all before using condom. How do I get better please?
