subject: Curing Unpleasant Vaginal Odor, Heavy Discharge and Fishy Vaginal Smell Caused By Bacterial Vaginosis or Yeast Infection [print this page] Anytime someone has an unpleasant odor and heavy discharge from the vagina; that alone is enough to see a doctor. Doctors can't diagnose online or tell someone that they have this or that infection, but they can say it sounds like something and such. Most of the times though when you have these symptoms it is usually a bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection, however you should see a family doctor you trust and have him/her do the swab to see exactly what kind of infection you have.
If not then see a gynecologist. Girls can get yeast infections from taking antibiotics, hanging out in wet bathing suits, not drying well enough after a shower, and other things. They can also get bacterial infections there as well because the rectum is so close to the vagina and its breeding grounds.
Each type requires different treatment and if you treat it wrong you may become immune to the proper treatment of one thing. Now if the discharge is in the middle of your cycle like on day 14 from the first day of bleeding then it could be related to ovulation when the discharge normally gets heavier around that time.
However because it seems to be a problem with a smell it's best to get it checked out. I've had bacterial infections in the past that only gave me a heavier discharge and that's all it was. The culture was the thing that came back positive that said I needed treatment.
Sometimes a doctor will do a culture if you're having discharge or any itching issues. I recommend you get seen so you don't have to worry anymore. You don't need to be sexually active to get an infection. Girls get infections without having sex and some get infections shortly after having sex like "honeymoon cystitis" which can occur after a girl starts having sex. It requires a diagnosis and treatment.
Many young girls say they are not comfortable talking with their doctor or parents about their BV infection; well, if you're not comfortable with talking to your mom about it how about another family member? Believe it or not I felt more comfortable talking to my dad about things because he was the one that talked to me when I had questions when my mom would be too embarrassed to talk with me. It's better to get it checked out now and be sure you don't have something then to continue worrying about it. I like Dove for sensitive skin to wash with and plain water.
If you are going to use something over the counter make sure you consult your doctor first. The instructions on the package say that if it's the first time you've experienced and itch or symptoms to consult your doctor. It doesn't sound like you are having symptoms of a yeast infection and to me it sounds more bacterial if anything. You'd be a lot more miserable, red, very itchy, and may have cottage cheese like discharge.
There is also this very great bacterial vaginosis cure guide which helped me a lot when I was struggling with my recurrent BV.
