Bad Smell Coming from Vagina?

I have recently noticed a bad smell coming from my vagina.

My discharge is also thicker than normal, and is white (which, the color doesn't seem abnormal to me, but I'm not sure). It's much less "fluid" than normal.

But I have not noticed any burning or excessive itching, nor does it hurt when I pee. So, what's wrong with me? Or is this normal-ish? If so, what could be causing the abnormally bad smell?

Based on your verbal report, it looks like candidiasis (tropicalis, parapsilosis, rigosa, and countless other types that are accompanied with odor; candida albicans does not have an odor). It can be other yeast infection such as moniliosis, or oidiomycosis. It can be a yeast infection (or disbacteriosis) mixed with trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, haemophilus ducreyiand , and multiple other infectious agents.

Vaginal fungi occur either to fight anaerobe bacterial infections or other non-bacterial infections, or due to the lack of lactobacillus (hormonal imbalance, uncontrolled diabetes, stress, diet, anemia, systematic autoimmune diseases, allergies, flu, etc).

You need to see a specialist, rather than try balancing pH at home or other alternative means.
