Latley my vaginal area has been having a fishy odor, a little itchy, not too much, the discharge is white/clear, never green or yellow, and i dont have a lot of discharge, only before I start my period, which is normal, I am sexually active but I never had unprotected sex, and Ive had this thing before kinda, what could it be?
and it doesnt burn or anything when I urinate, I dont have pain in the abdominal area, and it doesnt hurt when I have sex, only if I am dry, but that's typical anyways. Its just more of the smell and itch (more towards the inside, not the outside), and I also shave
and I dont think its a yeast infection cause Ive had one before and its nothing like this

It sounds like you have bacterial vaginosis. Here's an article.

I agree with the other poster Kyle. It sounds like you may have BV (bacterial vaginosis), which is known for the fishy odor. It is normal for the vagina to leak discharge since that is the way it cleans itself, but any unpleasant odor down there is not normal.
If it is BV, which will have to be diagnosed by a doctor, I don't know of any over the counter meds you can take for it. There is Metro-gel which is a gel you inset vaginally for 5 to 7 days and there's Flagyl, which are pills you take for about a well.
But bottom line is you'll probably have to go to the doctor.
