If you smell a fishy odor in your home that you can’t find, it might be a sign of an electrical issue. Licensed electricians are the only ones who can safely diagnose and repair this type of problem, so it’s important to contact one right away.

A strong fishy smell that won’t go away could be a symptom of vaginitis, according to the Mayo Clinic. This condition can lead to vaginal itching, burning, or redness; genital discharge that looks like a white, yellow, green, or frothy liquid; and pain when urinating.
Your doctor will perform a pelvic exam and take a sample of your vaginal discharge for lab testing to determine the cause of your symptoms. They might recommend a pH test to see how acidic your discharge is. If your OB-GYN finds that your vaginal flora is out of balance, they can prescribe medication to balance your flora and cure your fishy vaginal odor.
