Abnormal bacteria: A fishy smell is often produced with abnormal vaginal bacteria. When the ph changes, then the amines are released leading to the odor. Start a high dose oral multi strain probiotic like florajen 3 daily as a first step. If this doesn't lead to improvement you may need to see doc and have some short term antibiotics.

Vaginal infection: You may have a vaginal infection called BV or std calltrichomoniasis. Both require a visit to a provider to evaluate and treat. Douching is never recommended, as it alters the healthy balance in the vagina and can actually make you more vulnerable to vaginal infections.
