Question : Hello, I am in a new relationship and have noticed that after we have sex, (especially 1-2 days later) a very strong foul smell forms in my vagina. I am on the pill and he ejaculates inside. The smell disappears after a week or so but is very unpleasant. I've never experienced this before, what could it be and how can I help?

Brief Answer:
Gynecologist opinion advised

Detailed Answer:
Helli mam, thanks fir trusting health care magic.
This problem can be due to try homonym infection or just bacterial vaginosis.
Un my opinion you need to consult a gynecologist and get yourself examined for discharge otherwise you will keep in infecting each other.
Presently take tablet fluconazole 150 mg just once and see the response.
Use condom while having sex to prevent cross infection and wear a cotton based underwear.
Take care
