Vaginal odor ?'s: An unpleasant odor from vaginal discharge may be because of infection. See your gyn physician for an exam, culture and other testing.

BV? Trich? STD?: Vaginal discharge with odor (often fishy, maximum after sex) is often bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of moslty normal bacteria; or trichomonas, an STD. Other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) often are present with either one. BV discharge usually white/gray; creamy suggests trich or STD. Probiotics don't help. You need professional exam, STD testing, and probably treatment with metronidazole.
