if you do indeed have a bacterial infection in your vagina there is really little that you can do to treat it at home. you will need to see your gynecologist (or a different one) so you can have a vaginal culture taken and have this discharge examined under a microscope. both bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis can cause a malodorous discharge. yeast does not usually cause odor. just itching.
i have vaginal discharge and strong (ammonia or fish-like) odor. been treated for yeast infections but no relief. help? ! . i've complained to my gynecologist for years about this same problem. i am sure it is bacterial vaginosis (from my own research) but my gyno suggested it may be a chronic yeast infection. is there anything i can do to treat this?
