: While normal vaginal discharge is colorless &amp; odorless, it doesn't appear that you have a vaginal infection. Yeast vaginal infections can cause a sweet smell but a cheesy,itchy discharge comes with it. My guess is that some harmless bacteria are causing the sweet smelling odor. Your gynecologist can advise you best.
