Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Foul smelling discharge from the genital area indicates infection which could be bacterial, fungal or parasitic. The most common cause of foul smelling discharge is candida or yeast infection. But you have tried antifungal therapy with no response. Bacteria which cause this kind of foul smelling discharge are bacteroides, gardnerella and mobiluncus. Parasites like trichomonas cause similar disease.
I suggest you take tab metronidazole 400 mg twice daily for 7 days. Also keep the area clean and dry as much as possible. The foul smelling discharge will reduce within a week. If it does not reduce you must see a nearby GP and get yourself examined.
Thanks.
