Hi ,
Foul smell from vagina could be due to any sort of Vaginal infections.
Usually it's a group of infections. It's good to know that you have tested negative for STD, so all those serious infections have been ruled out.
Kindly rule Diabetes also, Fasting & post prandial ( 2 hrs after food) blood sugars. If abnormal treat that first.
Your & your partner will need a set of Antibiotics + Antifungal tablets to be taken at same time. Avoid sex during that time.
Will need vaginal washes & vaginal Antibiotic + Antifungal capsules course. Has to be advised by gynecologist after local examination & needs a follow up.
Drinking more water can remove Urinary infection, hope that has been ruled out.
Don't worry , this is curable , but don't break the treatment schedule in between
All the best
