I'm 37, and have noticed a recent change in vaginal odor. By odor, I don't mean unpleasant, like a bacterial infection. It's not even yeast-like (though I've only ever had two yeast infections).

I hope this isn't too graphic... all my adult life, I had a sort of "salty" scent, usually not even noticable. Now, it's sort of a bleach-like smell, and typically I do notice it when I sit down on the toilet. The discharge is clear or white, and no more or less than usual, but occasionally has a couple very small lumps in it... not a lot like in a yeast infection. No itching or burning.

Could this be just the changes in hormones as I near 40? What's this all about?
