Most Likely a vagina PH imbalance, you will need to see your GYN for antibiotics.
You may have bacterial vaginosis.

Hello,
This can often occur anytime during the month. I always suggest women consider taking a probiotic at first sight of symptoms. In addition, to keep a healthy vagina, it is really important to hydrate appropriately with water and maintain a diet low in added sugars. This includes simple carbohydrates along with sugars in your drink and food.

This is likely a bacterial infection. Typically treated with metrogel or flagyl.
It can be caused by bacterial infections & can be treated with antibiotics. I would let your physician know. Make sure you don’t have a retained tampon.
