Vaginal Odor

I have had a strong and foul odor from my vagina for about a month now.  There is no discharge or discomfort.  It is very embarrassing.  I have only had 2 sexual partners within the last year.  One I know is clean.  The other looked fine but I know that means nothing and we did not use a condum.  I have been taking alot of vitamin supplements lately.  Namely Vitamin B (which is very similar to the odor), a multi-vitamin, calcium,lactobacillius acidophilus, Sam-E, and vitamin C.  Could these vitamins be causing the smell?  I also drink a good amount of beer, hence all of the vitamins.  Could that be a cause as well?  Please help!  I am a very clean and scent oriented person with no health insurance!  This is very upsetting for me!
Thank you.

Douching is not really a good idea you know.....there are so many probable causes for this conition,,,,,from bacterial infection to cancer.....have you been to see your Gyno? That would be mine or anyone else's advice to you. Anything out of the ordinary should be checked out by your doctor.......I wish you luck!

I try to eat right.  Lots of veggies, low fat everything, soup, sandwiches... I drink a ton of water.  Usually thats all I drink.  As far as beer goes, usually about 5 or 6 three times a week, but this is nothing new and this odor is.  Do I have to have a discharge to have an infection?  Could the vitamins be causing the smell?  I've been douching now like once a week if I know I'm going to have sex.  It seems to help for a limited time.  What is going on with me?  Would one of those new over the counter vaginal infection tests work if I have no discharge?

The vitamins are good....you say that you drink alot of beer....how much and how often. Do you drink enough water throughout the day?? Everyone should be drinking half their weight in ounzes to flush, flush, flush toxins out of their body....and also, what does your diet consist of??
