General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
What problems you are encountering with foul smelling odour from the vagina is due to yeast infection. Although you have taken treatment for that, it would take some more time for the infection to subside completely. You need to maintain good hygiene to overcome such problems.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Use pH balancing solution like 'V Wash' regularly.
3. Apply moisturizer cream at bedtime.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide proper ventilation and to avoid friction in the area.
Use mild soap and water to clean the area everyday. Drink good quantity of fluids to keep yourself hydrated. Your symptoms should get better gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
