I have the worst smelling discharge I've ever had. I've never usually been smelly... at all! So this is freaking me out a bit. It doesn't smelly fishy at all.. it smells like sour milk, or (this is really disgusting but..) almost like someone threw-up. It smells soo bad. It came out looking almost greyish or green even but when I wiped it, it was dark yellow. I'm going to the health clinic tomorrow, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows the answer to any of this? I'm scared its Trichamoniasis.. but it could also be B.V. I just got off the nuva ring also because I was getting too many yeast infections but this is the first week I'm off of it and I'm getting this horrible smell.

BV (bacterial vaginosis) smells like fish. It's a very foul smell!
Trichomoniasis has a green/yellow colored discharge as well as a foul smell.
Luckily, BV and trichomoniasis can both be treated and cured with antibiotics. Metronidazole (brand name is Flagyl) is usually prescribed for both BV and trichomoniasis.
It's a really good idea you are seeing the doctor about this. You should definitely get it checked out and taken care of. Good luck to you!

What are the symptoms?
Nearly half of all women with bacterial vaginosis will experience no symptoms at all. When a woman has symptoms, the most common complaint is a foul or "fishy" smelling vaginal odor. This odor frequently increases following intercourse. In a recent survey of medical providers, more than half said that the most common complaint from women with bacterial vaginosis is vaginal odor. Another common symptom is an excessive white or gray discharge with a milk-like consistency that can stain undergarments.

Bacterial vaginosis is usually due to Gardnerella and it causes a fishy odorof the secretion. Trichomoniasis is not caused by a bacteria but by a protozoan. It usually gives of plenty of vaginal secretions and on speculum exam, will show a "strawberry cervix". It is still possible that your condition is due to fungal infection.

Hi, I've had this same problem for over two years, the normal medication would NOT work for me. I finally had enough and went to another doctor for a second opinion, she prescribed boric acid suppositories, so far so good! I'm so hoping it stays that way. The last two years have been hell! My advice to you is try to get an appointment with another doctor and ask them for a prescription for boric acid suppositories. My doctor prescribed me 300mg once a night before bed for 14 days. Good Luck!
