Hi--I would like to speak about something that I am totally am too embarrassed to go to GP with

It is to do with needed to change underwear a few times and shower two or three times in the day due to (Cring as I type this!!) a really bad smell or urine, so sorry to be asking about this but I am so upset about it and do not know what to do , how to get rid of it, is it something I am eating or drinking, does it go away, just so upset about it.

Does anyone have any information about this at all.

GP will surely help you with your problems. Don't be ashamed about it.

I had a similar problem a few years ago. I discovered that using soap/shower gel to wash seemed to be part of the problem so I changed to ph balanced products such as Femfresh. I've been using it ever since and the problem has disappeared. I would still go to GP though and get checked out in case you do have a UTI.
