Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Infection
Question: My menstrual discharge smells strongly putrid--it made me gag and was very different from the usual smell of it. The smell has changed dramatically from yesterday to today. I have been bleeding on and off for about 7 days. This is the expected time for my period. I am 48. There is no chance I am or was pregnant.
Brief Answer:
Can be a vaginal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The putrid smell of the discharge can be due to a vaginal infection. in case it is associated with itching or the smell is persistent then proper antibiotics are needed after a vaginal swab culture for treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
