Brown smelly discharge??

After my period i've been having this brown smelly discharge.. the odor is so bad that i cant even squat or cross my legs without the smell smacking me in the face, i was diagnosed with a kidney infection a few weeks ago and i've taken the medicine for that and last time i went to the doctor i was std free but i think something was wrong with teh tests because i continue to have these std like symptoms (yellowish whitesh discharge which smells, and bumps that come and burst and are really painful) and now this brown discharge has come about and it sucks.. can anyone please tell me what this is.. i've heard bacterial infection, yeast infection, but std keeps crossing my mind.. can someone please help.. my doctor.. tss i dont like her because she blows my concerns off like they dont exist.. help please??

Ladies! I have just found the cause if what ive thought for weeks was bv. I did all the things on here, spent a couple hundred dollars on vitamins, hours researching, the horrible odor had gone away but came back. I started douching with a vengeance(peroxide) then brown almost tan tissue like stuff started ciming out when i douched! Scary. Started reading that maybe it was the bad bacteria coming out. Then watched a video on how to check yourself for a LOST TAMPON! I thought there was no way i could check myself with my short fingers but if u can!!! It was a little tricky but felt around and thats what it was!! Once i touched it and pulled on it i was certain it had to be it. It was sideways and no string. It took a little bit to tug it out and this may be gross but what finally worked for me was to stick my nail into it and pull. Mine was not black from blood but i realized that was prob bc all the crazy douching i had been doing! Nonetheless it was the source of the problem! I never post on things like this but as horrible as that odor and discharge etc experience was, i felt i had to share! And im telling u, u really dont have to go to doc, unless maybe to make sure it hasnt caused tss. If u sit on the toilet, first slowly insert CLEAN finger as far as u can, feel around, then bear down like u are pushing out a baby or whatever and continue feeling around. You may have to use a sweeping motion or like i did and claw finger it. Its almost unmistakeable because it wont feel like part of your body. If u havent douched it will probanly be dark n smell rank im guessing.  I was very skeptical bc had already had sex several times since any tampon could have gotten stuck n thought if there us one up there theres no way i'll get it out but as we all know this stuff is so awful we'll try nearly anything and i couldnt believe how easy it was
