What Causes Excessive Vaginal Discharge And Foul Odour While Being Sexually Active?
A little ashamed to ask my question....but, here goes. I have been having some vaginal discharge, and now there s a foul odor that I wake up to every morning, light must, and death is the only combination that describes it to me, being that I m one with generally good hygiene. I have had two partners both my exes, but never got checked after intercourse. What could this possibly be?
