What Causes Foul Vaginal Odour While Suffering From HSV 2?

Hello. I was recently diagnosed with HSV Type 2. I am still trying to learn the effects it has on my body, if any. In the past, before the diagnoses, I have suffered from several bacterial vaginal infections. At which times I was not sexually active so I know they didn’t come from sex. I have been sexually active recently, but for a few months now, prior to the diagnoses, and still to this day, I have a really bad odor down there and whenever I wipe, there are these brown crumbs that come from inside my vagina and sometimes they get in the outer labia area, and under the hood of my clitoris(which really itches). I try to avoid using toilet paper because I thought that was the problem. But even when I use baby wipes and just water, they still occur. I shower twice a day as well. What could this be?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you are suffering from vaginal bacteriosis.
Metronidazole (Flagyl, Metrogel-Vaginal, others) is treatment for it.This medicine may be taken as a pill by mouth (orally). Metronidazole is also available as a topical gel that you insert into your vagina.

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