Question:
For the past few months, I have been experiencing vaginal discharge that has pretty bad odor. The discharge has more of a color than normal and seems to be a bit more acidic as well. There is very little pain and itching involved.

Any time you have an unusual vaginal discharge or vaginal odor, you must be checked by your health-care provider. You many have one of many vaginal infections. These can be easily transmitted by vaginal intercourse. Therefore, you partner should be checked as well. Many times a woman will have a vaginal infection with no symptoms, and could develop severe complications, such as a blockage of her fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility. Please be checked immediately.
