Itchy vagina and odd smell?
During the past 3-4 weeks, I've had itching "down there", mostly inside, but also sonetimes on the vulva.
It smells odd too, a bit like after intercourse. The fluids are more thin than usual.
I've been to my doctor.
- Negative for yeast
- Negative for bad bacteria
- Negative for STI's
So what causes it? I'm going nuts, and it's embarrassing.. I don't believe it's an allergic reaction.
Can it be bacterial even when testet negative..? I worry it's something seroius, when it doesn't go away..
Going to se my GP again next week.

Definitely be sure the doc tests you for B.V. or even ask to be swabbed for it again.
It's hard to imagine that you weren't swabbed for it, but you didn't mention bacterial vaginosis, you just said "bad bacteria." BV's smell is the first thing women usually notice, so it's worth checking.
