Discharge: It is normal for a woman to have some vaginal discharge. A mild odor sometimes is normal as well. If there is a strong odor along with irritation you should go and be evaluated by a physician.

Probably BV: Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition in women where the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria. Bv is not a sexually transmitted disease. It causes vaginal discharge that is usually white or gray. Most complain of a fish-like odor noticed especially after intercourse. It is treated with metronidazole.
