you have a vaginal infection, not disease, you need to go to the doctor and get treated for that, because every time you have sex it will get worst

In where? And what kind of white stuff?\n\nAre you a female? Are you having a white vaginal discharge that's a little like cottage cheese? If so, yeast infection.

Acutally douching removes natural oils and such that need to be there, douching can cause infections.  A healthier way to change a woman's smell is by changing her diet, red meat and junk food equal a foul or bitter smell/taste.  Things like yogurt and fruit make for a more appealing flavour.

You have bacterial vaginosis and douching will only make it worse!! Unless you douche with boric acid that is the only kind of douche that ould help. Stay away from perfumes of any kind down there.\n\nIf you can spare $5 or so go get a bottle of acidopholus... take it twice a day for a week. Then once a day for another week. Try to always keep a bottle of it around. If you are noticing that it is coming back, then your sex partner could be a carrier and he needs to be treated as well. I am not sure that acidopholus would work for him. He may need antibiotics. \n\nYou may notice that it is worse after a tub bath avoid these as much as possible. Nobody really knows what causes it but your vagina is supposed to be an acidic environment when you have BV it turns into a high alkaline environment which is what causes the smell.\n\nMy ex husband was a carrier, he even kept giving it to his ex wife before me. He is an alcholic and also chews not sure if that was the reason but even after he took the antibiotics he was still giving it to me anyway...who knows I am fine now but i still have to avoid tub baths and when I do take one I make sure to take an acidopholus

Okay time for a real answer.\nIt is probably sweat that is causing the bacteria to smell. I would get those masingill wipes (the unscented sensitive ones) and wipe yourself throughout the day to refresh yourself. I would also wear cotton underwear. If you are wearing silk this may be the problem..also thongs may be the culprit. I would stick to regular underwear. \nHope this helps!

prob.a yeast infection....discharge is normal but not odor

If the odor is caused by a overgrowth of "bad bacteria" due to a reduction in your good lactobacilli... you can dip a tampon in yogurt and sleep with it over night. It will repopulate your good bacteria. If the odor is caused by an STD then it might have to be taken care of by antibiotics

You might have a bacteria infection on your body somewhere. Take into consideration where the odor is coming from...If you can pin point where it's coming from, see your doctor. \nIt could also be your clothing. Do you have pets? Wash your clothes?

It's possible.  If you're super worried, call your gyno.  Otherwise, just finish the antibiotics for it, give it a week afterwards to wash out and then if you still smell something, call the doctor then for sure.

check with a doctor first.  Then you could try panty liners.  They are very thin and comfortable, but you can change them throughout the day to rid yourself of the smell.

Does it have an odor?  Do you suffer from itching? Is is clear or milky white in coloring? You may have a yeast infection.  I would call your general physician or gynocologist and relate the discharge to her.  It could be nothing just general femine stuff even I find my body tends to get excited when mentally i'm not but you may have something more serious. \nsymptoms of vaginal yeast infections \n\n how can you tell that your crotch rot is really a yeast infection and not something else? most medical types say that you should go to a doctor to get it diagnosed the first time, and then once you know what you're looking for, you can figure it out yourself the next time and respond appropriately. i used to blow this off as a bunch of MDs protecting their turf and their profits, but more and more evidence is accumulating that wimmin often misdiagnose themselves as having a yeast infections when they really have something else. this is bad because you might have a more serious problem that isn't getting treated while you futz around with yeast treatments. just as bad, if you use an over-the-counter treatment for yeast and you don't really have yeast infection, you might be creating your own personal race of drug-resistant super-yeast, and next time you have a real yeast infection it could be damned hard to get rid of. \n\na doctor can tell for sure if you have a yeast infection by taking a swab and looking in a microscope. most of us can't do this at home, but sometimes you can tell by the feel, look, and smell that you have a yeast infection. if your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see a doctor if at all possible.\n\n\n feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. this itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated. \n looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \n\n smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). no bacteria could smell like that, so it's a great diagnostic. \n\nfinally, in response to a recent question, i point out that a yeast infection will NOT cause you to miss your period.\n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nrecognizing other types of infections\nthere are other nasty creatures besides yeast that can sometimes infect your crotch, and it's helpful to know the symptoms of all of them so you can be really sure before you go treat yourself for a yeast infection you might not have. \n\n a bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown. and it won't smell like bread: it can smell like fish or something rotting, particularly after you have sex. if you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get your diseased self to a doctor, sister. the main treatment is prescription antibiotics. \n\n urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. (and if you aren't sure about the difference, check out elf sternberg's page on the sexual anatomy of women.) UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage. \n\n tricho

Your girlfriend should get checked out by a gynecologist to find out what is causing the odor.  She shouldn't be embarrassed about going, because they see this type of thing every day.  It could be a variety of things, the most common being yeast and bacterial overgrowth in the vagina.  It is not an indicator of anything bad, it just happens sometimes.

A smelly whitish discharge often accompanied by itching is a yeast infection and it's easy to treat with over-the-counter products such as Monistat.  If your friend is still concerned she should see her doctor.
