funky smell and lots of discharge constantly

hi i have a few concerns, first off i have been having this foul smell comng from my vagina, somewhat of a fishy, fried onion smell..horrible..after i use the bathroom, you go in and you can still smell it..i sit in class and sometimes you can smell it through my clothes. i have discharge as well, alot of it. at times it goes through my underclothes..it has sort of a whitish-gray color. another thing is my partner said it tastes sour sort of like buttermilk. i have been to the gyno and was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, was prescribed antibiotics, vaginal and oral. it seemed to help for a bit but not for long. i reapeated the vaginal anti's again and they helped for only  short while. another problem is that i get breakouts in my vaginal area, there are little blisters with greenish puss in them(sorry 4 detail)they pop and burn, horrible feeling...i thought it was herpes and still think so...i got tested and my tests came bak negative, but the doc said that i need to get tested for herpes when i break out, i was wondering if that was the only way to detect it???? i been having breakouts for about maybe 3 years now every now and then..i also experience abdominal pain with sex, it has also been going on for about 3 years, and it's not because my partner has a big genital... during the act i get somewhat of a cramp type pain, that does not seem to go away until i am through with intercourse....what could it be from and how can i make it stop?? please give some suggestions...i am a young female and my sex life is falling apart, too worried either about the smell & pain..

To My goodness :
Im not sure how old you are if no help at the Dr be sure your partner is clean no excuses,and you also and rinse well soaps can cause alot or infection as well as personal hygene any thing could cause this including the soaps you use,Try useing only Dove soap to bathe in it has a ph level over 5.0 same as your skin and rinse well no tight pants jeans can cause heat to stay in and cuse yeast infections,cotton white underware or lined in white stay away from anyone who has any oder there is something wrong.No jump in sex at any moment until you can figure out what is causing you so much pain ,No riget sex that would cause you to be in pain .it is not necasary excuse my spelling I have cancer and cant think well. but try these if a Dr cant help find one who can .Also pee after sex and wash no matter what you think try it it cant hurt.and antibotics will usually cause a infection espicially if you have colds and flue alot it is hard not to being around people and freinds find the anwser you should not be suffering this way. Good Luck

Regarding discharge, I've had this excessive problem for over 3 years and dr. cannot seem to find a cure. All test are normal, no infections. The minute my husband enters, it's like a faucet is opened and the discharge is released. It's getting very frustrating to our relationship... any one have suggestions.

This is not normal to have that much discharge for that long. Are your periods regular? I'm not trying to tell you what to do but.  First of all, it is not a good idea for you & your partner to be having oral sex right now. It's not a good thing for you or your partner. Did you know if your partner has oral herpes you can get vaginal herpes...The sores you describe does not sound like herpes, I don't think there would be green pus, but I'm no doctor. They sound like infection of some kind & they need to be cultured. So you need to see the doctor when they are present. I would make sure you partner wheres a condom for any sex right now. To protect you from futher exposure to infection, if you have sores up inside, & to protect him.

Has the Dr done a pelvic exam & cultured your discharge. The antibiotics prescribed may not have been the right one for the infection & he could only tell that with a culture. You could have a cyst or pocket of infection up inside your vagina or uterus or a fistula. Sometimes it is very difficult for a dr. to visulize the area with so much discharge.

Pain up inside with intercourse is an important sign. Where is it located ie: on a certain side, just above your pelvic bone, or does it feel like it's in the vaginal wall.
Have you had any other recent procedures? Such as any type of female surgery or have you ever given birth or had an abortion?
Also you may need a pelvic ultrasound, I had that type of pain, without discharge, when I had a cyst on my ovary. That can only be diagnosed with an ultrasound of the pelvis.

Just my opinion & I'm not a doctor but if your doctor has let this go on for 3 yrs & not done more to investigate it, I would find another doctor. Your future family life & health could depend on it.
