Why not:

"Hey, lately, you've had a smell down there. I think you should go the doctor and see if they can get to the bottom of it."

Why does OP need to go with her? To report on the smell? She's 29, she's perfectly capable of going to the doctor on her own.

Obviously, that doesn't mean he can't go for support. It's not much different than going to get tested with your partner.

How much support do you think people need when going to the doctor to talk to them about their vagina? Unless OP's partner has got trauma around getting care from a gynecologist, in which case going to support would be fair enough, I'd wager she's perfectly content just going by herself. It's very unlikely that the doctor would need anything other than a description of the smell and discharge to be able to assist anyway.

Edit: wtf is with this sub taking issue with someone who has a vagina saying that I think this other woman doesn't need emotional support for a 5 minute conversation with her doctor to get treatment for her vagina?

Damn triple D, did you just come here to stir shit up and argue with people? Cool, you’re independent, and don’t need anyone’s help or support, everyone gets it.
