HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the odor is due to bacterial vaginosis.

This causes a fishy vaginal odor.

It can be treated with topical or oral medications such as metronidazole or tinidazole.

If confirmed, your doctor can prescribe one of these for you.

I hope this helps
