What Causes Smelly Vaginal Discharge After Menstruation?
Hi. I have smelly discharge and vagina from my period to when I ovulate. There s no infection, tested several times. Pap smear came back ok. I am 38, weigh 69kg and 1.71m. I got off a hormonal implant (Jadelle) last year June and currently on no birth control. What could be the cause?
Be careful not to leave any tampons after menstruation, they may cause infection & foul-smelling discharge.
You are suggested to get your pelvic examination done by a gynecologist. If sexually active she may tell you do do the tests for STD to stay on the safer side. Get treated at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
