funky smell and lots of discharge constantly

hi i am concerned that something is very wrong with my vagina. first off, i have a smell down there, awful, kindy fishy mixed with onion. also alot of discharge, constantly. the color is somewhat whitish grey. after i use the bathroom you cold still smell it when you go back in. my boyfriend says i taste kind of sour like buttermilk(sorry for details). i had been to the gyno and was told it was bacterial vaginosis and was prescribed antbiotics, oral and vaginal...it seemed to help for a bit but then shortly it started over again, i had repeated the vaginal antibiotics twice and like i said it seemed to help shortly. i also have been having breakouts around my vagina, they hurt and they seem like their bubbles filled with puss, i get them every now and then, i been to th gyno and had tests done several times, but was negative, they said if it was herpes that i had to get tested when i get the breakouts, but i never seemed to get there in time...i also experience pain with sex, not that m boyfriend is very big or anything...i have been experiencing pain for a while now, maybe 2 years....i am very worried and tired at the same time....my sex life is awful..cannot enjoy myself without worrying how i smell or taste and if i begin to relax, that is if i also experience pain so i can't enjoy myself..please, any information would help...i am a young female and this is destroying my relationship and sex life

have had severe bv for a few years my gynecologist said he didnt know why this reoccurs. I had greyish white discharge. smelly odor. embarrassing!!! i had alot of sharp pain. and vaginal dryness!! i now know why. vaginal ph. that is so important. my md said to try a bakinh soda douche. and it works!!!! just dont use too much. it gave me gas!!! adjust your vaginal ph. and all these symptoms go away!! but. you have to repeat as u need to!!

I am 16 years old. I have never had sex but i have this terrible problem. I have this strong odor and this chunky white discharge and it wont seem to go away. I've tried just soap at the beginning cause i thought i just needed to take a shower but it didn't go away, i tried vagisil for odor didn't go away. I've tried yeast infection wipes and its still here. I cant get rid of it and soon i am going to switch to a female doctor and go see her cause its embarrassing and preventing me from doing anything with guys. Please help with any answers i want it to go away asap ! .

sometimes women think that something is wrong with them because of their bodily functions, but in reality it is normal. alot of women body functions is different from the next..what u may b experiencing someone else is experiencing as well but in a different way...trust me when i experienced the same problem: discharge, itching but no foul smell and every time i went to the doc they told me it was normal so i requested to see a different doctor everytime and each doctor said the same thing... my boyfriend never said i tasted sour or anything he actually said i taste good ....all u guys comments are excellent but each women have a different persona... so dont put your self down for it just say to yourself; THIS IS NORMAL, THIS IS ME, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THAN LET ME BE....discuss this issue with your spouse so he wont feel left out and i guarantee you your relationship will be better...mines is...10years and counting ..itgets better and better
