Foul Smelling Vagina. History Of Yeast Infection And UTI. What Do You Think?
Hi my name is carlee! Last year I had my first yeast infection which I think turned into a uti ( bc I then got treated for A uti) but ever since then my vagina smells awful! About 3 weeks ago I bought women s daily probiotics and whenever I take those the smell goes away! I wanted to test it so I went off of them for about a week and the smell is coming back. What do you think?

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The awful smell from the vagina is likely to be due to a persistent yeast infection. A vaginal swab culture will help in finding out the exact cause. Taking probiotics reduces the yeast growth thus reducing the smell during those days.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
