I'm thirty years old and after my periods i have a foul oder.i've been medicated for this before but it keeps coming back, why?

Bacterial breakdown: Bacteria are present and breaking down the detritus(old blood, tissue, etc.) of the remnants of your period causing putresine and cadaverine to be released therefore the odor. Long term vaginal antibiotic treatment may be of help.
