Hi! I have a problem extreemly similar to yours and some times it can really put my husband off having sex. My doctor diagnosed me with what they call vaginosis, aparently it is caused by an overactive gland inside us some where that helps lubricate. I have had this problem for about 2yrs and i have to say it is hard to live with but apparently its very common in women. I tried antibiotics and they didn't work, not that the doctor promised me that they would but she said it would help alleviate the smell for a while. So now i just put up with it and my husband is understanding. I hope this will help you to find out whats wrong.
