when u say vaginal odour can u explain the smell as most odours are caused by bv which causes a fishy kinda smell it can be quite persistant to and keep coming back every month your vagina looks normal on the outside it could just be a vaginal infection

bacterial vaginosis is most likely wat it is

it causes a thin watery discharge that smells fishy its common after sex but people who have never had sex get it usually due to a change in ph... if u use tampons i suggest changing to pads as sometime periods can cause bv to occur due to the ph of blood being different to the ph of the vagina u can buy over the counter medications or doctors can prescribe antibiotics alot of women treat it and it comes back again and becomes reoccurring every month some people treat it and it goes away i guess u could try over the counter first see if that helps until u can get to see a doctor it may just clear it up

update: so an information was missing on my last test so they had to refuse it and i had to take it again.. i told the doctor that my odor keeps coming back on and off. he told me that there is no odor today so he said he's going to wait for the results to come back and then we'll proceed for the treatment if needed.
