Douches actually pushes the infection in and causes more problems. If you doctor says it fine, then I don't know what to tell you. Yellow or green vaginal discharge is usually from an infection. A foul-smelling discharge is usually from an infection.
A thick, white, itchy, cottage cheese-like non-odorous discharge is often caused by a yeast infection. In general, Keep your genital area clean. Wash daily. Keep your genital area dry. Wear cotton underwear or underwear with a cotton crotch.
Do not douche. Do not use feminine hygiene products. Maybe you need a second opinion.

It is normal to have some vaginal discharge. It should be clear and very little odor. If it is white and cottage cheese looking, it may be a yeast infection. If it smells alittle fishy or have green drainage you may have a bacterial infection. Did the doctor do a PAP on you to find out? As for the advice about a douches, it really is not good to do all the time. It washes away normal bacteria that is supposed to be growing there.

Do not douche as the other poster suggested as the vagina is a self cleaning oriface. You mentioned that it stinks but that is not very descriptive. What type of smell is it? Also when it dries it does tend to be light yellow in the underwear. It is probably normal but you do need to be more explicit as to what you mean by "stinks".

I would suggest you go see your doctor if it has a smell. It is natural for the body to have a discharge but there is usually no smell. You may have contracted a STD, but it could be something simple. Take care of it quickly not to cause more serious problems down the road.

That's normal. TMI by the way. And the whole scented pantyliner thing...not a good idea a lot of people are actually allergic to them. If you have a problem go to a gyno...they specialize in that category, doctors are just general medical.

Yes, that's normal... the best thing you can do is wear scented/deodorizing pantiliners (I recommend Carefree) to absorb it and prevent the smell.
