default
Posted on Tue, 8 Nov 2016
Question: This is so embarrassing, but I have a really bad odor coming from my vagina but no discharge. I checked for maybe an old tampon that I forgot but couldn't find anything. What on earth could it be?

Brief Answer:
Vaginal infection needs to be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Occasional smelly discharge or vaginal odour is acceptable. But its best to check for infection which has to be done by a gynecologist.
If you have fever, abdominal pain, irregular bleeding then please schedule this appointment as urgent else do not worry .
Please take plenty of water, pass urine every 2 hours to avoid infections, use INTI WASH to clean your private parts and see how you feel......
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
