Bacterial Vaginosis: You need an exam to know for sure but Bacterial Vaginosis is a frequent cause of a bad fishy odor in the vaginal area. This is an overgrowth of one type of bacteria that live in the vaginal area and can be treated with antibiotics.

BV: Sometimes disturbances to the natural bacteria in your vagina (douching, irregular bleeding, unprotected sex, etc) can allow abnl bacteria like Gardnerella to overgrow and cause a fishy odor. It's not sexually transmitted, but can be treated w/ Metronidazole(Flagyl)/Clindamycin/Boric Acid. See your GYN for a prescription and be examined for other potential causes. Nothing urgent/dangerous though.
