Bacterial vaginosis?: The most common cause of discharge with foul vaginal odor (or odor alone) is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly normal bacteria. As you have noticed, odor often is most noticible after sex. Trichomonas, an STD, can cause the same symptoms. Treatment with metronidazole (Flagyl®) usually is effective. Good luck!
