Can Strep B Infections, Cause Foul Smelling Watery Discharge?
At my annual checkup (about a month ago) my gyno said I tested positive for Group B strep. I'm prone to yeast infections because I always have sugar in my urine, so I thought that maybe I've been getting a yeast infection, but today I had a dark watery discharge that smelled really bad. No pain, no itching, just the one bout of discharge and a continuous foul odor. I started birth control about a week and 3 days ago. What could be the cause? Could it be Group B strep related?
