So...this has been going on for as long as i can remember. maybe a few years. every now and then I get a discharge that is white and jelly like. The smell would vary, sometimes it’d be odorless and others fishy. Recently over the last few months i’ve been dealing with odor. the odor would be quite fishy (reasoning im talking about this on the app is to avoid judgement) i spoke about it with a female who i thought was a friend and she says “you got a musty 🐱 “ and didn’t help me at all. i’m so insecure about it, and i want to be sexually active again but the smell is keeping me from doing so. DONT GET ME WRONG. I was the outside of my vagina everyday with warmish water and a washcloth and i do wash it good. But after 15 minutes the smell comes back, im not sure what to do. it’s been making me depressed and really upset, i’ve cried real tears over this shit and i feel hopeless.

i researched online for ways to combat bad odor, most of them have been yogurt, cranberry juice, pineapple, apple cider vinegar. I don’t really understand all the pH Stuff like i’m not sure what pH my vagina is at and i don’t know how to find out. And what even is the recommendation pH.

Please...if anyone can give me actual good advice on how to control the discharge and how to deal with the whole thing please let me know. i don’t want to waste the last 2 years of my teenage life worrying over smell, when i could be doing things with my boyfriend. (I also say no everytime and I know he’s not supposed to get mad, but he doesn’t know the real reason why i won’t, and i think he’s starting to think somethings up)
