The fishy smell is not caused by yeast. It's caused by bacterial vaginosis. The fact that your ovaries are hurting could be a sign of infection. It could also be caused by ovualation. You need to have an ultra sound done on your ovaries to make sure you are not having ovarian cysts, and if you are to find out how big they are. If they are small, they might put you on birth control to stop them from coming back. If they are large and they rupture, this could cause life threatening internal bleeding. Ovarian cysts could be the cause for yeast and bacterial vagisosis by weakening the immune system in it's effort to control your cysts. All woman get cysts and it's very important they we monitor them. Ruptured cysts cause scarring. These scars build up on the ovaries and make it even more likely that larger cysts will develop. So you definitely need to go to the doctor and have these things checked out at least twice a year.

I forgot, this is also on the site i gave for you--if your sexual activity has changed or your period  is changing that can also change vaginal discharge which is normal..

I googled the white discharge for you and that is considered normal as long as it's relatively odor-less. If it smells fishy [[ yes I literally mean like a fish]] then you might be looking at a yeast infection. A yeast infection also comes with "itching and burning"
I hope this helps-- let me know if I can help you look for anything more specific :) Good luck!!
