Well hun,
I just wanted to let you know, that it might still be a yeast infection. They don't always have to itch, and can still have a funny smell.
I'd suggest that u go to your local drug store and get a test. They have some that don't always test just for yeast infections. They have different colors that will show what infection you have.
I really hope i helped.

Hi Sweetheart,
As you get older smelly discharge is common in young women, now is when you really need to take care wash properly in your vagina and change your knickers once discharge as leaked into it. General washing should be extra important scrub it well but gently and wash your hands well after.
Also when your on your period change your pads or tampons regularly as that can sometimes affect your discharge smell as the period smell could still be there.

depending on where you are in your cycle, your discharge will look and smell different. it also changes as you get older. i had the same problem, and this is basically what the doctor told me. its just kinda gross to the person its happening to is all. probably no one else can even smell it but you, because everyone is tuned into their own scent, being paranoid about it. weird, i know, but i hope this helps! :

'I'm trying to ask a doctor right now'.
No one on Advicenators will give you the answers that an experienced doctor can give you.

Take a look at that page.
It says near the bottom that you should consult a doctor if there is:
* Pain
* Itching
* Discomfort
* Rash or sores alone or with a vaginal discharge.
I wouldn't worry now, but if you notice any of those symptoms, you WILL need to go to the doctor. No excuses.
