BV? Trichomonas?: Odor is very subjective. One person's "corn chips" might be another's "barnyard smell" or "fishy". The main abnormal vaginal odor is fishy, due to bacterial overgrowth, as in bacterial vaginosis or sometimes trichomonas. You don't give enough information to know if you were adequately tested for them. Discuss with your doctor, including the DNA test for trich, much better than older tests.
