What Causes Foul Smelling Vaginal Odor?

ever since i started middle school i've starting experiencing this fishy odor down below. i didn't get checked until this passed summer and my doctor told me it seemed like bacterial vaginosis. She gave me antibiotics and it helped me for about a week then came back. Im now a senior in high school and I'm still experiencing an odor, but it's not fishy. A week ago I used monostat feminine odor and it helped for 3 days (like it said) but it slowly started coming back. When I shower in the morning sometimes I feel clean. other times I don't. I suffer from excessive sweating and get nervous really easily so by the time I get to school I feel icky. I do use a feminine spray that is supposed to help with that, but it does't do much. I think my odor may be coming from me sweating a lot, but I'm not sure. i wear panty liners, but I was hoping to stop because it's a pain having to get up and wear one everyday. I feel like it's not normal. I trim and wash down there properly and practice good hygiene, however my diet can change and I can be drinking more water. I find myself smelling musky towards evening time in the day. It gets bad and I have to immediately take a shower because I feel uncomfortable. What should I do to stay fresh ALL day?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Some smell from vaginal discharge is normal. I think you are concerned too much. Problem is suspected when you have vaginal itching with an awful odour. Also smell from body due to heavy sweating is normal. You could use deodorants to prevent this.

According to your symptoms, I don't think that you should have some problem in vagina. You could do regular washing with warm water. Maintain good hygiene. you could start doing a sitz bath.

If problem persist visit ag ynaecologist

Hope this helps
