Discharge with onion/garlic smell

hi everyone,
I have searched and searched the internet but can't seem to find anything to do with my problem.
I have started getting a thick sticky white discharge with an oniony garlic type smell. I have had BV in the past but it isn't the same as that. I thought maybe it might be a mixture of BV and candida but i don't have any of the itchiness you get with a yeast infection. Besides, i took medicine for both but it still came back.
It isn't constant but seems to be there more than its not. I have it at the moment and it is the beginning of my cycle.
Also, the smell seems to be worse just before and during sex.
I'm not on the pill, my partner and i use condoms. Could that have anything to do with it? It is the first relationship i've had that has remained extremely sexually active and also the only one that i've continually used condoms with.
Like i said, i have had BV before and also candida before but the symptoms just don't seem to be the same as them.
Hope someone can help
Thanks

I have the same issue, but i do know a fruitarian, vegetarian, no processed food diet makes you smell really good - from experience. It also clears up infections - the body heals itself once it has the right nutrients to do so. I'm going to try the strictly fruit and veggie thing aagin and see if that actually does alter the oniony scent/aftertaste... Try it ladies. And try looking into naturopathy, healing the body with food. No sugar, no dairy, no eggs, no caffeine, no white flour fast foods.... basically water an dthings that grow on trees - it also helps make your periods shorter and less heavy. I tried it and it took mine from 7 days to 3 days, and it was light almost watery and clearish.

Hi I have the same problem, but besides having the onion smell in my vagina I also have it in my tears, sebum and pus. I know for sure it's not in my hands. I also realised this happens around my ovulation day.

when you feel UTI coming take 1/2 to 1tsp of baking soda in 8-10 oz of water 2-3 times per day, especially right before bed, you should feel better after first round. make sure its 2 hrs before or after eating it bcz it will reduce stomach acid. Get Uva ursi from health food store take that 3 x per day for 5 days.  No more antibiotics for you.

Hi, does that mean a stinky penis should be compatible with a smelly vagina ?

If a woman cannot stand a stinky penis, i wonder if she can stand her own smelly vagina ?
