odor ruining my life

I have this really bad vaginal odor that other people can even smell....I did have a bacterial infection months ago that was treated. I keep going to to the gynecologist and they find no infection or yeast issue she even said the Ph level was fine. I tried rephresh I shower twice a day even try shaving and trimming wearing pads and even wipes or washing the area throughout the day and nothing helps. The other thing is the type of odor seems to change but it is always a very strong odor.....I am going to try taking acidopholous tablets per the doc suggestion but just have this feeling it won't help....ugh! I don't want to leave the house most times because the smell is that strong....

I feel your pain....when I was about 17 I had this problem and I wasn't even sexually active at the time. It was the most horrible smell. At first I didnt even know it was coming from me but it seemed to follow me every where I went. I thought I had step in some dog poop, so I checked under my sneakers and Nothing! realized it was coming from my vagina. Ewww i was so embarrassed and scheeved out. It smelled like the sewer...I had it for a while and my gyno didnt have anything to help me. If I doucshed  it would take the smell away for a few hours. But one day I just didnt have the smell any more. Just like that I didnt take anything and it went away but I had it for like a year. Which It seemed like an eternity. But im sorry I cant help. It will eventually go way.
