Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Some smell from vagina is normal, there is nothing much to be concerned about that. Problem is suspected when you have very foul smell from vagina along with vaginal itching or lower abdominal pain. Otherwise it is normal. If you have foul smell from vagina along with vaginal itching or lower abdominal pain, it usually represents infection.
You should wash your vulva with warm water 3-4 times a day. Use of soap is not advised as it could destroy normal vaginal flora. Doing a sitz bath could also be helpful.

If problem persists or worsens visit a gynaecologist

Hope this information helps
