We do really have a discharge and it naturally smells but if it has a weird odor then have yourself checked by an OB-Gyn. You may have a bacterial infection and it's manifestation is the liquid discharge accompanied by bad odor.
The OB-Gyn will just request a simple urinalysis to detect the infection. Once infection is confirmed the doctor might ask for a urine culture to pinpoint which bacteria infected you so she could prescribe the appropriate antibiotic.
No need to worry because what you have is nothing serious.
Good day!

You are actually probably "over doing it." Are you using an antibacterial soap? You have a specific amount of natural flora of bacteria that keeps out the "bad" bacteria. If you douche, use antibacterial soap, or regular soap constantly and scrub that area; you are very likely making yourself too clean and the "bad" bacteria take over--causing a foul odor. I would suggest taking a break from the washing so much, and shower (no bathtub) every other day for a few days. See if that helps.

You should check with your health care provider, because a discharge with unusual odor (not related to intercourse) may mean a yeast or bacterial infection.
Till you get seen, try frequent changes of minipads (every few hours).

Sweetie go to your doctor. It could be a variety of things some quite benign but no one here can give you the proper care and attention. We are simply not qualified. Get to a doctor.
