While vaginal discharge varies by woman, discharge with a foul odor is generally an indication of an infection or STD. The most common cause for discharge with a bad smell is Bacterial Vaginosis, which is an infection that can be treated with antibiotics. It is important to make an appointment with your doctor to get correctly diagnosed.

Washing your underwear with bleach can cause ammonia like smell An often overlooked cause of ammonia smelling vaginal discharge is washing your underwear with bleach. When your genital area sweats, the sweat collects on your underwear. When the sweat combines with bleach it gives rise to an ammonia like smell. If you are smelling your underwear to judge the smell of your vaginal secretions, then remember that your sweat, and not your vaginal secretions, might be causing the ammonia like smell. Try smelling your vaginal secretions directly and not the underwear, if you want to rule out whether it is the sweat that is causing the smell or the vaginal secretions.
