Hard to guess. Vaginal discharge is anything coming from the vagina that is more than the scant amount of normal mucous that healthy women have. Discharge with odor is usually an infection with germs such as bacteria (BV), trichomonas, gonorrhea or chlamydia (discharge worsens as infection gets worse). Sometimes there is also yeast (candida) overgrowth. One's Dr. can offer an exam, tests, or meds.

Please bring this up with your Gynecologist who knows your medical history. If you don't have confidence in your Doctor see another for a second opinion.
