Q: 

Why does my vagina have a sour taste/smell?

I'm 18 years old. My vagina smells and tastes sour. This is very unusual for me, as this is not how my vagina normally tastes. My discharge has also been white and somewhat milky looking. I've been having unprotected sex, could it be an STD? or maybe just an infection? The smell gets stronger and is almost unbearable after sexual intercourse.

Anon - There could be a number of reasons for this, including bacterial vaginosis. You need to be seen and treated by a medical professional, and should not let this go. Are you able to do that? Pat
