Sounds like an yeast infection, go buy some vagisil. Use it and if it don't go away go to the gyno.
well, it sounds like there's some type of infection going on. only a doctor can really tell you what it is. i suggest making an appointment with your gyn. good luck
More than likely you have an infection. Go to your doctor & he/she will specify what is wrong with you. Good luck!
It sounds like you have a yeast infection. If you have never had one before, see your gyno just to rule out that it is not something else as well. Most yeast infections only smell like baking bread or "yeast" hence the name. There is normally not a foul or fishy odor. They symptoms of a yeast infection are a white cheesy discharge that typically itches and irritates the vagina and surrounding outer tissues. On occasion there may be pain with sexual intercourse or burning with urination.

If you are experiencing a foul or fishy odor, you might have Bacterial Vaginosis or BV. The symptoms of BV are as follows:

Women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse. Discharge, if present, is usually white or gray; it can be thin. Women with BV may also have burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina, or both. Some women with BV report no signs or symptoms at all.

BV can be treated with medication prescribed by your OB doc.
Its most likely a yeast infection, one of the many joys of womanhood. Get a good one dose treatment, Monistat is my preference, stay away from sex for a couple days, and eating yogurt is always good because it helps to replenish the good bacteria in your vagina that keeps it clean and smelling better.
Sounds like you have chronic yeast infection. See a doctor because your case cannot be cured with over the counter medicine.
sound like you need to keep your legs closed and go see a doctor like now!!!!!!!!!... yuck!!!!!!!!
It sounds like maybe a yeast infection, but if this is your first experience with one, go to the doctor to be sure.
NO... sorry guys a yeast infection will be cottage cheesey and extremly itchy, usually less odorous. Yes, it is possible BV bacterial vaginosis and there a few std infections that could cause these symptoms, but most of them included painful symptoms. I experienced the symptoms you describe a couple years ago, I called my gyno who immediately said over the phone I had a STD and would call in a prescription. After ripping my boyfriend to shreds , I then learned from the county health nurse it just so happens that the ph balance can be thrown off kilter in the vagina, causing exactly those symptoms and eating yogurt and acidophillos? cultures will put it back into balance. So I chose rather than put more chemicals into my body with the prescription (and avoid all the embarrassment) I would try what the nurse recommended 'the intake of cultures'. And without a prescription and alot of apologies, I was better in a couple of days. I don't mean to suggest avoiding a doctors exam, but you might want to try this remedy first, then follow up if you do not see relief. And of course if the symptoms worsen seek medical attention.
