Odour concerns

I am concerned about my girlfriend. She has a bad odour to her vagina and a very stringent bitter taste to her vaginal discharge. Her personal hygiene is not the issue - she is very clean, washes intimately with warm water but no soap at least once a day. She is belived to be an-ovulatory as she only has a period approx every two and a half to three months. Is the taste/odour a hormonal problem or do you think it could be dietary related? I heard that wheatgrass is good for bad tasting semen; is there something that would have a similar effect on women?

The first time i had sex with my husband which was about six yrs. ago i started smell horrible.  I did not smell my self but people made comments about stench and rotten meat, or feces odour.  We were tested for hiv and syphillis before marriage both of us negative. One year later my feet started smelling like fungus moldly.  I became very depressed in the first yr. of marriage and very sucidal.  There i did not persue the cause of horrible i did mention it to drs. they dicovered i had h pylori i was treat for but still persisted.
I have since left my husband and trying to rebuild my life.  So went to podiarist

He treated my fungus foot infection for one year with out relief and then told me i have sexually transmitted diease.   I ask my obyn if is possible she said no stds don't cause smelly feet and breath.  Could some give idea if std could give me these odors and what i may have.   My odor get worse after eating breads meat fish sweets almost anything  even a salad i'm desperate thankyou in advance.   PS i after we had sex i will feel like cuts in the virgina and pain in stomach painful urination almost afraid to unrinate and extreme itching.   These odor problems are ruining my life because i am embrass it held me back form college i'm find it very difficult to survive please help

She needs to talk to her Gynocogist about the problem, there's probably a simple fix

She might have BV (especially if it smells fishy, and especially if it smells fishy after intercourse, if you're not using condoms). She should see her gyn and get it checked out.
