Vaginal Discharge

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through through your question.
The most common reason for such a discharge is yeast infection. This can happen kn this age, even when clean. An over the counter anti fungal cream applied threetimws per day usually helps. If not, I recommend consulting with your doctor.

Detailed Answer:
The smell could easily be attributable to yeast. Though its possible to get it from the same toilet seat, there is no reason to think that this is definitely the cause.
