Perhaps bathing is in order.

I'd get a second opinion. It could be an infection, maybe a yeast infection. A bad smell indicates something of that sort. If you get a second opinion I'd say bring it up with the doctor during the appointment. If they say there is nothing wrong maybe they can suggest a certain brand of douche or other method.

The most common cause of vaginal odor is bacterial vaginosis, resulting from an overgrowth of organisms normally present in the vagina. The odor — usually a "fishy" smell — may be more obvious after sexual intercourse. Other signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis include vaginal itching or irritation, and a grayish-whitish vaginal discharge. Treatment of bacterial vaginosis may include antibiotics. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vaginal-odor/AN00097
