Regular Bad Vaginal Discharge Worsened During Periods. Detected Thrush Once Out Of Four STI Checks. Thoughts?

Hello,

I have had bad vaginal discharge for around 4 years. I have had four STI checks at the hospital and only once it has came back as thrush.

The discharge smells very bad and I have to wear a sanity towel daily as it comes out regularly.

The discharge is really bad when I am on my period. The smell is unbearable.

If this isn't an STI what can it be?

Welcome to HCM
Greetings of the day
It can be persistent or recurrent thrush which could be due to inadequate treatment or re-infection from your partner. Get yourself and your partner tested, and complete treatment of you and your partner if any is required. Also get your sugar level tested( Fasting and postprandial) done to rule out diabetis which could be cause of thrush. Consult a Gynecologist at earliest.
Take care
Regards
