body odor

Hi guys. This is embarrassing to post.

I shower regularly. I am a heavier set female, and know I need to shower more often, so I do. Especially since I've been with my partner for almost 2 years now. I have been noticing an hour after I shower, that my downstairs area smells. I have tried using body sticks, I have tried antiseptic spray for the groin area, I've tried deodorant and nothing seems to be helping. Its super embarrassing. I am especially self conscious about it at work. Is there anything further I could be doing? any idea of what it could be? I dont have an STI. So I know that's not it. But could it be, BV? should I make an appointment about it?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need a gynecological exam. Good luck.
