If you aren't drinking enough fluids your body will smell stronger. Drink lots of water, keep a journal of what you eat/drink/wear as well any changes. Make sure you are eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep. Try wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid pantyhose. Use baby wipes when you go to the bathroom to keep yourself a little more clean. Eat yogurt. So many things can affect our bodies and our number one priority should be taking good care of them.
After you've taken very good care of yourself for one month, (while keeping a journal), see if there is any difference in your personal odor. If not, you can go back to the Dr. (possibly finding one you are more comfortable with - I only go to female Dr's) and show the journal and go from there.
Good luck!

Depending on where you are at in your cycle yes yellow can be normal. As for the smell that is not normal and indicates that you most likely have an infection going on and this needs to be evaluated by a dr to see what kind of infection (such as bacterial vaginosis) this could be.

It could be normal but I'm not sure about the odor it could be just hormones if it really bothers you than you could ask your doctor.
