What Causes Foul Smelling Cervix?

I had a Colcoscopy done about a week and a half ago which also included two biopsys on my cervix. I really didn't have any issues but in the last couple of days I have noticed a stronger smell down there. I don't really have much discharge and it isn't what I would call a foul smell but it is fairily strong. Could it still be the Monsels coming out or is it possibly and infection?

Thanks for the question

your problem might be due to infections.

First of all need to be collected further history regarding pain abdomen, previous history of sexually transmitted diseases, burning micturition, date of last pap smear taken.

per speculum should be done to view cervix and discharge should be taken on to a glass slide and should be checked for the type of infection.

Next per vaginal exam should be done for cervical tenderness to r/o pelvic inflammatory disease.

Depending upon the infection your problem is treated with particular antibiotic. In some infections your partner also should be treated along with you.

Hope my answer helpful for you.

Let me know if you have any more concerns.
