*  Unusual vaginal discharge could be a sign of infection. Over-the-counter medications are not designed to treat all types of discharge, so schedule an appointment with your doctor. The physician may perform a "wet prep" on a slide to determine the type of infection and the appropriate treatment.

* A "fishy" odor is usually a sign of a bacterial vaginosis (BV) and should be diagnosed by the physician. Bacterial infections usually require a prescription medication for treatment.

* Pain with intercourse can be caused by a variety of factors. If it continues after trying a diffferent position during intercourse, see your physician to rule out infection.

* Generalized pelvic pain needs a medical evaluation with possible laboratory tests, cultures or sonogram to determine the cause.
