What STI Smells Like Onions and How Is It Treated?

Summary: Have you ever noticed a strong, onion-like smell down there? Don't panic, but don't ignore it either! An onion smell can sometimes be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like trichomoniasis or chlamydia. Other times, it might just be from eating too much garlic, forgetting to take out a tampon, or wearing sweaty gym clothes for too long. The good news is that if it is an STI or a bacterial imbalance, a doctor can easily test for it and give you medicine that clears it up in a week or two. To keep things fresh and healthy, practice safe sex, wear loose cotton underwear, and change out of your sweaty workout clothes right away.
