For the past week, ive been having heavy vaginal discharge that smells awful. is it worth talking to my doctor about?

Vaginal odor: Vaginal discharge and odor may mean an infection, so see your gyn provider for a culture and treatment. Chlamydia, trichomonas and some yeast variants will cause odor. If you are sexually active, make certain your partner gets treated as well.

Absolutely MD visit: A GYN MD can evaluate the malodorous discharge for a possible bacterial infection and provide a therapeutic remedy.
