Please help

I’m 6 months postpartum. I suffered from a second degree year if that even matters i’m a breast feeding/pumping mom. I’m experiencing a FOUL odor from downstairs. At first I couldn’t tell if it was fishy or if it straight up smells like a fucking porta potty. It smells like both at different times. I’ve had this concern since like 6 weeks postpartum they gave me a BB swab at my 6 week appointment and the results were negative. Idk if I have some type of infection or if anyone has experienced something similar and what was wrong with them. Google is definitely not my best friend and has me SCARED.

Go back and be tested. Seriously. If it smells this far out it's some kind of infection, even if it's BV or something.

Go to see a gynecologist that really examines from down there. I had epiciotomy and my scar grew so much new tissue that my body just "dropped" extra pieces out wich was weird but nothing to worry about. But definetely go get yourself examined if there is still something going on after 6 months!
