embarrassing vaginal odor

I am 49 years old, I am not sexually active and have been for about 2 years experiencing  times during the day I smell a strong fishy odor coming from the vaginal area. I bath everyday, I have even started taking personal wipes with me to the restroom so that I can wash up during the day but nothing seems to stop the odor. I wear panty liners so that I can change them and the smell won't get in my clothes. My pap smears are normal. Even though my doctor says that they don't know what causes bacterial vaginitis, and there is no cure that will keep it from reoccuring, I find it  extremely embarrassing. I am more aware of the smell more when I get excited about something. If I go out of town, or go out to lunch, or even go to a meeting, anything that is different from my regular routine, I smell it. The episodes seems to be getting closer together, where else in the very beginning it may have been once every couple of months, not they seem to be ocurring more often. Please help me, what can I do?

How did you discover you had this allergy to wheat? Can you eat gluten? I think I might have the same allergy

Hi, your vulva has one basic issue. Your vaginal ph is too alkaline. You are too clean, speaking from a microbial sense. You need to focus on making your blood and body less acidic, and to bring back healthy intestional flora that will naturally reregulate your vaginas normal healthy state. Taking pro biotics can greatly help as well. If the bottle states to only take 1 or 2 twice daily, I actually take 5 or 6 twice or thrice daily. But that's just me, and believe me, u see results admediately. You and your sweetheart may need flagyl 1,000 mg at a one time dosage just to make sure you both don't have trichamosis. Btw, pro biotics are practically yougart in capsule form and no one ever died from eating lots of yougart. Might wanna do this. But as far as making your body alkaline. You would need to completely avoid soda of all kinds. All powerful simple sugars such as corn syrup. It is poison and extremely acidic. Please do some research on how to adjust ur blood chemistry as you regain your body's strength. Because right now, it isn't properly handling what nature means for it to handle. Your sweetheart needs to do this too. His body will continue to introduce into your system the same means to keep your vagina thrown off as far as ph is concerned. A diet of 80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic will start u off to realigning your chemistry, then to follow up with 60% alkaline and 40% acidic thereafter. Some fantastic foods to get u started are lemons (I would add half a lemons juice to every full glass of water I drink!) Grapefruits are truly disgusting but have for centuries been considered ambrosia (food of the gods). Just adding sugar to them defeats the purpose of eating it. Sugar is highly acidic. Celery is fantastic! Drink distilled or reverse osmosis water. Lots of organic true green tea. Salads. Stay away from red meats primarily and consume fish. When I began this in order to regain my health, I discovered I had round worms. Disgusting, I coulda died! But turns out, grapefruit will expell some parasites, if eaten in large quantity or supplemented strongly. It is fantastic. Needless to say I bolted for my doc! Note one thing: cancer and parasites cannot (CANNOT) survive in an alkaline environment. They need an acidic environment in order to survive and thrive. Fix your blood and body ph and see your vaginal issue dissapear, as mine didl.   I hope this helps you out gurl!

I am 15 years old, and I am a virgin. I will look at my underwear after a couple hours of wearing them and see white stuff in it. I also see that my underwear is slightly wet, as if I peed in my pants, though I never did. What is this??? I have a boyfriend, and I am afraid to do anything but kiss him because of this. Also, I will notice that my vagina smells. The scent isn't horrible, but it isn't nice. Why does my vagina smell? Is this normal?
