Odor is very subjective -- different people describe it differently. The most common form of strong vaginal odor is usually described as "fishy". The main cause of strong vaginal odor is bacterial vaginosis, due to overgrowth of mostly vaginal bacteria. It needs to be professionally diagnosed and treated. STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomonas are more common in women with BV: get tested.
