I have been dealing with a bad vaginal odor for months. The odor smells fishy, but I am not sexually active and have not experienced any itching, irritation, or pelvic pain. I have tried products like Summer's Eve and Vagisil, but stopped using them due to concerns about their safety. I also tried some home remedies, but cannot remember them. What could be causing this odor and what treatments can I try?

I have what appears to be a yeast infection in my vagina and a rash on my hands. Do you think they are related? I am 25 years old with a non-hormonal IUD and have not yet started any medication. When did the yeast infection start? Is it constant or does it come and go? Is the rash itchy or swollen? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the yeast infection or anything else?

I got a positive pregnancy test yesterday evening, but a negative test this morning. I am 30 years old, have PCOS, and my last period began on 5/10. I last had sex on 5/21. Are the test results conflicting due to a false positive or negative, and is 12 days after sex too early to test?
