What Causes Foul Odor From The Vagina?

Hi, i just had my period and when it finished, a sudden odor appeared coming from my vagina, along with a translucent very small leek from there. This had never happened to me before, and i was ok before i got my period, i am wondering what might be the problem?

Hello,

The foul odor from the vagina can be related to a vaginal infection. I suggest doing a vaginal swab test and a urine test for further evaluation.

Meanwhile, I suggest to maintain a good hygiene and use cotton underwear.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
