Seafood makes my vagina smell

So this might seem like a weird problem but ever since I can remember when I eat seafood such as fish, scallions, shrimp, etc. It cause my vagina to have a fishy smell. Its always the next day after I eat the seafood and only lasts for that one day, then its back to its normal, odorless smell. Their is no change in discharge, its not thicker or abnormally colored, there is no burning or itching or any other symptoms. Is this normal? Could this be some weird allergic reaction? Thanks!

So I am so very glad to find you all! This has happened to me every single time I eat fish or seafood! And it does go away in a day or 2. I like and eat more fish than any other protein and didn't want to give it up! Now I know that I am not alone, I can rest easy. Especially since I try my best to observe a healthy and active lifestyle!!

Every Friday in Lent I go out to get fish. Broiled is okay but fried fish, whew, can't stand my self for two days. I smell so fishy every time I pee I can't stand to be in the bathroom any longer than is absolutely necessary. I really smell fishy and not pleasant fishy. Like nasty fish. 2 days EVERY time.
Very strong. Worse than you ever smelled when you had your period.

I'm a guy and this happens to me as well. The problem is that it's all u can eat crab legs and I absolutely go to town on them. Then my dick smells like freaking fishy crab for the next 3 days. When it's really bad, even my sweat has a hint of crab smell to it. Anyway, now all you women know this is not only your problem but ours too. I didn't know about the cranberry juice thou. I'll have to try that next time I pig out on crab legs again.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Omg, I thought like I was loosing my mind when this happened the first time. It was more funny saying this I to Google that brought up you beautiful woman. I might add I was busting a freaking gut at the comments too, I so enjoyed this conversation. Thanks so much for the cranberry idea, I'm on my way to the kitchen to pop a bottle. You ladies rock.

This condition is due to an inability to digest TMA in seafood, it's like oils found in seafood. It may smell like it's coming from your vagina but its really eliminated through sweat and urine. You can Google this for more info. Forgot the scientific name for it but that's basically where the issue is coming from. It's very common but because of the stigma with women and body odor a lot of people go on not knowing why this happens to them.

Not from the urine. I'm pretty sure its from the vagins. I had jumbo prawns last night with my husband and I smelt like the ocean full of shrimps whilst we were making love. Its definitely not from the urine.
