Stop douching: You need to be tested for infection. If you can't see your obgyn schedule a visit with a primary care doctor. Severe vaginal odor is not normal. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause. Stop douching. This kills off the normal vaginal bacterial that cleans and stabilizes the vagina. You are likely making things worse.

Douching: Agree with Dr. Livingston. I know that there are commercials on TV that state that douching restores vaginal pH balance -= BUT..... Healthy bacteria that live in the vagina help to maintain the natural acidic environment. Douching can eliminate those bacteria and as the pH changes it can increase risk for developing infections from unhealthy bacteria. See PCM. Recommend that you stop douching.
