Bacterial vaginosis?: Strong vaginal odor suggests bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly normal vaginal bacteria. Odor is very subjective; people use different words for the same odor. The odor of BV is most commonly called "fishy", but "ammonia" may fit. BV odor is often strongest after unprotected sex, maybe another clue in your case? In any case, see your PCP/gynecologist for exam, testing, and treatment.
