Bacterial vaginosis?: Contrary to populat belief, vaginal yeast infection does not cause strong odor. The main cause of foul vaginal odor is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly normal bacteria. Discharge can be present but usually isn't. Odor tends to be especially strong after unprotected sex. BV isn't an STD, but STDs are more common in women with BV. Return to your doc or get 2nd opinion and STD tests.
