Answers:
Sounds like Bacteria Vaginosis (BV). Its a bacteria infection that ALOT of women get, and the smell is worst during your period, and after sex.

It is not sexually transmitted. It falls along the lines of a yeast infection, but the difference is BV doesn't itch, it just has a bad odor, whereas yeast infections usally itch, but hardly carry an odor.

Call your doctor. He will want to see you, then he will give you a prescription for antibiotics or cream. The antibiotics work better, but they are the worst tasting medicine there is. They leave a nasty taste in your mouth for days after taking them.
infection!! see doctor
You should douche after your periods. Buy Massengill's disposeable douches at the drug store.
please dont do vaginal douche, its really bad for you because it cleans more than it should and there are bacterias and fluids you need to fight against infections like a yeast infection. It sounds to me like you have a yeast infection. your period shouldnt smell that bad except when you have been with a pad for the whole day and its just dried blood smell. try washing yourself with justt water and eat alot of active culture yogurt without sugar. if it persist then go to the doctor so that they give you something to take or use.
