The female privates usually have an odor but it shouldn't be offensive. it is also normal to have a light odorless fluid at certain times of the cycle, usually around the time you are about to release an egg. If the fliud is smelly and just doesn't seem right then you may need to see a doctor.

You may just not be used to your "adult" body yet. If the odor is only there after strenuous exercise--you may just need a shower! :) However see if you can provide some more info for the docs and they can help you more. I heartily commend you for trying to learn more about your body. I wish there more young women like you who were intelligent and forthright enough to learn about the female body.

Hope this helps a little. Anne N.
