That Smell

I am in the house and just got out the shower and got a strong wiff of this stinky smell down below. this is not the first time though, i was told i have a bacterial infection, taken medicine but that smell has gone nowhere. its so bad the smell is stronger when i have clothes on at work everyone can smell it especially when they are behind me.  when people are walking close to me turn their head because the smell is so strong and stinky. i keep putting my fingers down there and sometimes i dont smell it strong but it comes threw my clothes 10xx stronger.the smells dosent go anywhere i carry febreeze around with me but it dosent help the smell overpowers the febreeze smell.. what can i do? what is causing me to smell like this. i shower and sometimes it gets stronger but instantly the smell goes threw my clothes. i open up a door and the smell stinks up the whole room.

This happened to me a long time ago.  I knew something was wrong and didn't give up going to my gyn as well as other gyns. I went many times for over a year trying several different docs and meds.  It took a long time but finally there was one med that worked!  It was a breath of fresh air....literally.  I wish I could remember what medication cured it.  I have never had it again.  It's been over 30 years! Keep working with your doctor to find a cure!

Go back to the doctor and explain that the antibiotics weren't effective and see if he thinks you need another round.  If he cannot diagnose you, maybe he can refer you to a specialist.
