    Question

    I have a greenish brown/yellow discharge that smells. I went to the doctor and they treated me for BV twice. I changed everything they said and I still have it. It smells! If you have a different opinion PLEASE help.

    Answer

    No one can give you a diagnosis without an exam, so keep going back! I will be a little blunt though, and suggest that you might be reinfected by a partner. I am sorry, but that is the most common way the disease is diagnosed again. Please make sure your partner is treated -- and does not have another sexual partner.
