All my results came back negative, however I still have a vaginal odor.

Last week I went to my ob/gyn to get a Pap smear, bacterial vaginalis, candida, and T. Vaginalis. All my results came back negative, however I still have a vaginal odor. I've been struggling with this for years. It smells foul and musty and the smell is worst when I sweat. Guess what? I sweat a lot down there so you can imagine the discomfort and paranoia that I'm feeling. I only wear cotton panties, I stop wearing tampons (even though I hate the feeling of a pads), and I take apple ciders vinegar baths at least once a week. I cut down eating diary products and meats because of this. I eat lots of plain yogurt, which is the only diary I eat. I even have taken chlorophyll but I stopped because I only had relief on the 1st day then my symtons came back. I am a virgin so I know it's not an STD. I take acidophilus however nothing seems to work. I wipe front to back. I really don't know what to do at this point. I would really like help.

I used a double a couple of times and it helped.  Despite what I've heard about using a douche, I did it anyway because it's temporary.

Ah, sweetie, I'm sorry you are having this issue.  I read this one time and I don't know if it will help but will share it just in case.  So, get an antibacterial soap and wash outside the vagina in all the folds, getting the soap into all of the creases.  This is supposed to help.  the vagina itself is self cleaning so leave that alone but clean the outside and all those little sneaky spots with the antibacterial soap and see if this helps at all.  Cut back on sugar. Let me know if the antibacterial soap tip helps!  Hang in there (and know that most likely NO ONE else smells anything.)
