You definitely have an abnormal situation . The smell/and or discomfort might be due to a yeast infection , bacteriosis, trichimonas - or something else..and the pain could be a serious condition such as pelvic inflamatory disease or complications from another sexually transmitted infection. I am not a medical doctor so I can't begin to give a diagnosis-- all I am saying is that this is the kind of thing you have to take care of , or it could have more consequences than just smell or occasional pain. You should go see a doctor right away and get a real diagnosis and get treated!!

SOUNDS LIKE CHLYMIDIA, I WOULD GO HAVE STD TESTS DONE, IF ITS CHLYMIDIA THEY WILL GIVE YOU ANTIBIOTICS.

Hey, just wanted to give you a little bit of insight on the situation...I've heard that the foul smell and the sharp pains may be caused by a "lost" or forgotten tampon. This may be the issue with you. I would definitely advise you to set up an appointment with your physician ASAP to prevent TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) especially if you feel this may be the case. Either way, I wish you the best of luck.
