It could be a vaginitis which isnt an STD. Thats happened to me
recently and my doctor prescribed metronidizol which will clear it right
up. Sometimes it can arise if u have a sexual partner whose sperm ph is
high and it can throw your ph off balance, hence the smell. Make an
appt to see ur gyno so U can know for sure though.
