hello,
Foul smelling vaginal discharge is mostly suggestive of trichomoniasis infection. For confirmation, one vaginal swab test is required in this context.
Maintain genital hygiene properly, take oral metronidazole tablet with vaginal suppository for complete cure and use condom if you are sexually active. In such cases, your partner should be treated to avoid reinfection.
Be well.
