I have gone to the gynocologist on numerous occaisions and she tells me that it is sometimes caused by scented soap, or anything that has perfume in it. I always get it when I have sex. I thought It was from an allergic reaction to condoms, only, I get them when I don't use protection also. She usually perscribes some medication called flagyl. The scent and goes away, but it comes back after a while. I'm starting to think that It might not be a bacterial infection after all. Please help

To reduce vaginal odor, take chlorphyll and activated charcoal internally and as a douche.

Get a second opinion from another obgyn! Also, try to reduce any and all scented stuff, not only soap but what about laundry detergent? Make sure you are washing not only sheets, towels and whites in HOT water to disinfect em, but your underwear too, and make sure that it is a perfume and dye free detergent. otherwise, this stuff is next to your body 24/7 so could be a cause!

I agree with the previous answerer. Definitely get a second opinion.
However, if you get these infections after you have sex, try urinating after sex. It helps by cleaning out your urinary tract and basically helps prevent infections. If the infections continue, get a second opinion, and get you and your guy checked out for STDs as they may also cause urinary infections.
Lots of luck!

there is another thing you can try, try to only wear cotton underwear, even in a thong or g make sure it is 100% cotton and when you go to bed wear sopmething baggy with no underwear sometimes underwear can give you infections and if you wear underwear 24 7

Sounds like you need to go get a second opinion. See another gyno and see what s/he recommends. Let her know your history with this as well; it may be something less common

DEFINITELY go see a second doctor if not your regualr one. IN the meantime drink lots of cranberry juice because it hinders bacterial growth in your vagina and urinary tract.

That should have gone away with some antibiotics.
