A member asked:

My vaginal discharge sometimes its white sick like rotten cheese . other times its yellow , brown smells so nasty maybe like fish. cant see a doctor.

Vaginitis: most likely you have bacterial vaginitis (trichomonas vaginitis) that causes yellow discharge with fish odor. you and your sex partner needs to be treated with antibiotics and will need prescription medicine.
