Different types of infections:

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
For some women, a yeast infection can go away on it's own just after a period.

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
For only 1 out of 4 women, will a bacteria infection go away on it's own.

Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period

See a doctor.

do you have an std or you may have a bacterial vaginosies i think you should make an appointment asap because that doesn't sound to good at all could be something serious

Go to a gyno.

do you wear tampons? this may seem daft as i don't know how old you are,but is it possible that you have not removed it before putting another one in,i ask this because i remember my sister doing that once,when she first started to use them! she complained to me about the horrible smell! i went to the docs with her as she couldn't tell mum and he removed it! just a thought,either way go to the docs asap,something isn't right gud luck hun

like another person said - it does sound like one of the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. The site below has symptoms listed. Whatever the case, I hope it gets better soon.

I second the doctor recommendation!
