foul vaginal discharge..almost like feces!For almost 2 yrs.. seen gyno and still…?PLEASE HELP!!?
So frustrated now!! my problem is so embarrassing and has me worried about it becoming something more serious like PID or infertility. I am 20 years old. Up until I was 18, I would describe my vagina as being healthy…I lost my virginity at least a year be4 I started experiencing anything odd…It seems to have all started with a yeast infection…I had this when I was still with my one sex partner (the first)…I diagnosed it myself really. Itchy…cottage cheese discharge…I had never been to the gyno..and the thought of that really scared me…so I tried to treat it by myself. I used the old yogurt remedy? …and it seems to have worked…or helped a little….after about two months, though my bf and I broke up…and within a month I was sexually active with my new boyfriend..horrible, maybe…but I want to spill the whole sexual history…within the month without any sexual activity is when I developed what I have now..if I remember correctly..and since then…throughout my whole relationship with my new boyfriend..I had these symptoms: Horrible vaginal odor…awful…You can smell it through my jeans…Not a fishy odor…but almost like feces…or what an infection may smell like…discolores at times….but there was no itchiness….or cottage cheese looking discharge…so I ruled out the yeast infection…and after looking some things up on the internet…told myself it was a bacterial infection…Still, tho, I have not went to the gyno…My new bf and I stayed tagether for a little over a yr..Him, being my only other sexual partner…but I must admitt, it put a big damper on the sex life….SO EMBARRASSING!….So, now, this problem is nearly 2 years old…for a while, almost religiously every day…or every other….i would douche right b4 sex…or even b4 i went to work…bc when i seem to move around more…the more discharge(smelly)..i release…SO….after thw two a-holes…I met my wonderful bf now! he’s wonderful, btw! 
and still I hav these sympstoms…I decide to finally go to the gyno…weeks b4 my visit i read on the internet that douching with a vinegar/water solution would help disguise the smell, some….so i had been doing that…everyday…or twice a day…horrible decision, im thinking…seemd to help a little for a while tho. a day be4 i went to c the gyno…i had dome so, and the odor wasnt as foul..i mean…you dont want to gape open ur legs..when that is present…especially seeing as though i was so self concious about going in the first place…anyway…got my normal pap…i described the odor to her…tried to emphasize and tried to explain to her it was more than just being sweaty…or a natural odor…it was more. SOmething was wrong…Well, she took the swab, left, came back…told me my PH was fine..and everything seemd to be normal…she said she didnt smell anything…and she would be sending a slide to the lab…THATS IT? I JUST KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG…give me an idea or something…but nothing…SO…lab came back…And it said abnormal cells…Precancerous cells on my cervix…which, i dont know that that is too relevant to the ? at hand…I plan on getting the frozen off…and am not so worried about that…B/c at least I know what they are..and they can be taken care of…but, could that have anything to do with the problem that I am having now? I dont see where it could…but damn…I keep coming to dead ends…so any advice would be helpful….She put me on UTI antibiotics for a week…and also BV antibiotis for a week after my first vistit…and I called and complained that the odor was still there….I took the medicine…and it seemd to have helped…I think. But guiltily, I still used the vinegar/water soltion occasionally…from habit maybe…just being self concious…and having to have dealt with that for so long…I didnt want to chance having this embarrass my in an intimate moment, again…u know? SO….after a month and a half…here we go again…SAME ODOR..and discharge..every day..every second of the day…ITS HORRIBLE…and just want to be normal again! Im afaraid I let it go to long? Some other things Ive noticed…just so I can be sure Ive explained it all…I get REALLY WET…abnormally…during sex…a slight pain…sometimes in my lower abdomen…have seen a tissuey substance in the discharge…and a slight pain inside…sometimes…when I have "more passionate" sex….ummm…thats about it……SO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE…if you’ve had the same thing..or just have any advice on what the H*** could be going on…

I really feel for you! I dont know what to tell you except maybe try a different gyno. You shouldnt have to live like that! Good luck.
*NEVER* douche unless your doctor prescribes it, and only use the product that (s)he’s prescribed.
Douching can change the chemical balance in your vagina and vulva and reduce or even eliminate the bacteria and other critters that are there to keep your genitals healthy by *protecting* them against their unhealthy competitors, and that can leave you open to all sorts of different infections.
All you need to wash is lots of water and a little mild soap… and don’t try to wash anything you can’t feel from the outside. It’s OK for soap to get inside the lips of your vulva as long as you rinse it away, but *don’t* put any inside your vagina.
Two things will make you wet "down there"… both are normal and healthy, they both have a scent, and they’re *supposed* to happen.
1) Your genitals keep themselves clean and healthy by sort of "rinsing" themselves with the fluids that they make (this will happen constantly beginning in early puberty, 24/7 for the rest of your life, but you won’t always notice it)… sometimes there’s quite a bit of fluid and it can leak out a *lot*, so wearing panty liners or even light pads can be a good thing to help keep your clothes clean.
2) When your body is aroused sexually ("turned on" or "horny", even if you’re not doing or thinking anything sexual) your genitals will get wetter and slipperier… sometimes very, *very* wet… so that a penis can slide in there comfortably if you have sex like it’s telling you it wants (you don’t have to, of course).
I’m a cook, so the only things I can really compare the healthy scent of a vagina/vulva to are foods and such… and the nearest I can think of is a fairly mild combination of fresh oysters and grated truffles (the savory mushrooms, not the sweet chocolates) – musky and usually more on the sea-like side, but not "fishy" and certainly not unpleasant.
It often smells stronger when you’re sexually aroused or when you’re sweaty after exercise or have spent most of a day in tight pants or clinging underwear, but not always… and it tastes much like it smells, but it’s a little bit salty and less sweet than the scent suggests. (Don’t be afraid to taste: it can give you info that your eyes and nose – even your *doctor* – can’t provide you with, in addition to the fact that it’s probable your boyfriend(s) and/or husband(s) are gonna do that anyhow if they have any brains… and it’s sure not gonna hurt *them*.)
If this "discharge" is clear or slightly milky (might be tinted faintly yellow or brown), slippery to maybe a little sticky or stretchy, and smells "earthy, animal and a little like the ocean", it’s almost certainly healthy and good. If it smells truly fishy or otherwise bad, especially if it itches or feels irritated, then it’s probably an infection and you should see a doc.
First of all you need to stop using the vinegar and water solution because that could be causing you to have bacterial infections over and over again. Second you need to go back to your doctor and tell her what is going on even if you have to go in with it smelling the way it is. It is better for her to diagnose. Third you need to stop having sex until this clears up because if it is contagious there is a chance you could give it to your partner.
Just see another doctor. The smell is a signal something is wrong, if your current practitioner cannot figure it out find someone who can. It is definitely not normal to have feces smelling discharge.
Also it would be advisable to stop using home remedies, they may be inflaming the problem or masking it so that the doctor can’t work out what’s really going on
Sounds like BV – bacterial vaginosis. I have had ALL those same symptoms myself, I know exactly what you’re talking about. The only thing that cures it is flagyl – (generic name metronidazole). You can get it in pill or vaginal gel form, both work. I get recurrent BV and I just keep my prescription current on the metro-gel. I don’t know why I keep getting it because I do everything right, but I think some of us just have sensitive vaginas. The slightest thing will throw mine off balance. Douching is VERY bad for BV – don’t douche. To freshen up, use Rephresh. Expensive, but effective. Remember: Flagyl and Rephresh; no douching. Good luck!
