Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
If your age is around 50 years you are in the range of menopause.
The fishy smell may be due to ,
Yeast infection (fungus severe if ),
Bacterial infection.
However reason of these type of infection may be any but pathogens would be fungus or candidiasis or bacteria .
In my opinion please consult a gynaecologist as physical examination will find out the cause .
Also get in culture of vaginal swab and they will find out exact nature of pathogens (causative organism).
Good luck.
