Vaginal odor, am I okay?

Lately my vagina has had a fishy odor and I don’t know why. I am sexually active, but I have always used a condom. It does not itch, or hurt when I pee or anything like that. There are no bumps or rashes and it doesn’t hurt. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t know how to get rid of it. It has just started within the last week. I take showers regularly, and wash regularly so it’s not like I’m dirty or anything. What should I do? And how long will it last?

Please help.

You need to go to the doctor - having a fish scent often means a bacterial infection. Of course it doesn’t mean you are dirty. Whatever you do, don’t douche because they are known to cause issues. Don’t just push it aside because infections can easily spread, so call up the doc.
