What Does Foul Vaginal Odor Indicate?

hi, I was drunk last friday (it s thursday night) & I had sex with my boyfriend and somehow forgot to take out my tampon. i started to get a weird smell down there so I looked it up online and realized it could be a tampon because i didn t remember removing it. low and behold i found the tampon and got it out. should i go to the doctor for antiobiotics or should i be okay now? no other symptoms but smell

Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per my surgical experience, the foul smell indicates vaginal
infection.

- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Cranberry sachet once daily in a glass of drinking water.
- Gentian violet sitz bath 2 times a day.

- Avoid vaginal intercourse.
- Wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears.

* Consult your OBGY as per the need.
