Could There Be Any Correlation Between Stomach Bug And Increased Vaginal Discharge ?
Hey i just had a very nasty stomach bug and also just finished my period...i am noticing a change in my vaginal discharge . Its soo much and soaking my panties, which is not normal for right after me period. I was wondering if there was an correlation between having the bug and the increase of discharge. I am a 24 mother of two and have never experienced something like this before. Also it dosent really have a smell to it, maybe a little musty but nothong alarming.

Hello jjohnsonnj24,
Thanks for asking...
The antibiotic you took has altered the normal vaginal flora of bacteria and caused overgrowth of another species of bacteria.
If it persists, you will need to get a smear done and get some local vaginal pessaries for application.
