Odour, could it possibly be cervical cancer?

Every month when I am on my period, I get a slight fishy smell.  
I do a home test for bv and it comes back negative every time so it isn't BV, but my bestfriend passed away from cervical cancer and this was one of the symptoms she kept having. (I had a smear test that came back clear but I'm still worried and my doctors aren't helping me much)

Is a fishy odour during a period normal/expected or should I be really concerned as It's making me panic?

  • Hello Sar95

    I'm sorry tohear that you've had some health concerns recently. It's understandable that you're feeling a little anxious about things. 

    It's not unusual to have a vaginal odour during your period and it may be that because you're expecting this that you've become more aware of things. It's positive to hear that your BV tests and smear all came back clear. 

    If you're still concerned maybe contact the GP surgery and ask to speak to the Nurse Practitioner for some advice and support. 

    Best wishes,
