For a few days after menstruation, I have some unpleasant vaginal discharge, vaginal discharge smells bad, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
She uses gels for intimate hygiene, but they do not bring any relief. In addition, previous treatment attempts have not brought any improvement. What should I do with myself? ~ princess
In cases of abnormal odorous vaginal discharge, an infection should always be suspected. To do this, if the situation repeats itself and there is no improvement after standard treatment, a swab should be taken, cultured and drug susceptibility tested. When taking a smear, remember that it may be a bacterial, fungal or chlamydial infection. Therefore, the secretion should be collected for bacteriological and mycological culture and a separate test for Chlamydia should be performed (all during one collection). Then, after obtaining a response, start treatment with drugs that have been shown to be acting (sensitive). The sexual partner should be treated prophylactically. If it turns out that something grows in the culture, and the situations repeat themselves, consider the source of the infection: swimming pool, gym, public toilets, chronically used antibiotics. This can be true for both the woman and her sexual partner, who may be asymptomatic and are a source of infection for the woman.
