Vaginal odor: a ‘fishy’ smell. is often associated with bacterial or yeast infections and occur alongside vaginal itchiness, burning, irritation, and a change in your normal monthly menstrual discharge.The fishy smell is in actuality due to an imbalance in the vaginal pH. as healthy lactic acid bacteria is reduced in the vaginal environment. Can try OTC antifungal, white vinegar helps with odor. See your GYN.

BV: I believe you have developed Bacterial Vaginosis because you have been on Antibiotics for so long and therefore the normal Flora of your Vagina has been disturbed, you need to see a provider for treatment.
