Brief Answer:
Can be most likely bacterial vaginosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely bacterial vaginosis and associated yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out this.

Is the smell like fishy type?

If you were my patient with such condition i would suggest using vaginal tab/suppository containing combination of clindamycin and clotrimazole. I also recommend to use intimate wash daily to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
