I ve never had this smell before in my life. So my question is this. does this smell mean my hernia has rupture and what can I do to fix the odorproblem

Hello,
First of all, do not panic. Your hernia needs a surgical procedure called as hernia repair. It is a weakness and defect in the abdominal wall. It needs surgical correction. Please seek support from your treating surgeon.
Secondly, the bad vaginal odor has to be considered separately. It should not have any connection with your hernia. I will suggest you get gynecology checkup done including per speculum and per vaginal examination.
Please seek prescription support from your treating gynecologist for a broad spectrum antibiotic like Doxycycline twice a day for ten days and local vaginal pessary containing Clindamycin and Clotrimazole once at night for seven days.
Please observe proper vaginal hygiene.
Keep private parts clean and dry.
Use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash during bath time is advisable.
Also, start on pre probiotics like Vibact DS once a day for twenty days. If you are sexually active, then us EOF barrier contraceptive like a condom is advisable to prevent transmission of vaginal infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
