hi, im very worried about a smelly discharge ive had for a while now in my vagina. sometimes it's white and gluggy and other times its a bit yellowish. i get bad pains in my lower stomach and near my ribs, not sure if that has anything to do with it but I shower everyday and especially before I have sex with my boyfriend but straight after it smells again. could this be something I should be worried about? I'm not brave enough to go to the doctors as I'm embarrassed but I will if you think I need to.
