Have you ever compared the aroma of your vagina to a raccoon eating a dead fish in a dumpster? Lacey has.

Our lady gardens aren't meant to smell like roses but if things are overly whiffy downstairs it might mean something more serious is going on. Bacterial vaginosis, or BV, is a common vaginal infection that can cause a stinky, fishy discharge. BV is not only uncomfortable, it can be hella embarrassing and hard to get rid of. But in good news for vaginas everywhere, researchers have discovered that BV can be sexually transmitted and treating male partners can knock it on the head.

In this episode Yumi Stynes talks to Lacey about living with BV and sexual health expert Professor Deborah Bateson shares how to look after your cooch. Oh, and comedian Sarah O'Neill dedicates a song to the vagina. (R)

This episode contains references to bacterial vaginosis, odour, vagina, vulva, sexually transmitted infection, BV, sex, relationships, shame, womens health.
