Yeast infections can cause an unusual odour, itching, burning, or discharge. This discharse is usually thick and white.
These can also be symptoms of other problems, so while yeast infections are actually very easy to treat, it's best to see a doctor so he/she can confirm this is what you've got.
They are quite common - most every woman will experience at least one in her lifetime. Your doctor should be able to tell quite quickly if this is the problem, and advise you in how to treat it. While there are home remedies, these are only effective for yeast infections and if that's not what's going on for you, they will not help at all.
The smell could be a result of the discharge or yeast infection, so if you cure the problem you'll get rid of the symptom.
