Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Foul Vaginal Odor
I am experiencing a bad vaginal odor. Started off the day after my period, I had some spotting and the smell began. The spotting stopped and I thought the smell would go away soon. I though perhaps I had left a tampon in so I searched for it but nothing. I also used an overnight yeast infection treatment but that did not help the smell. although there weren t really any symptoms of yeast infection(I ve experienced several ) except my urine appeared cloudy as with a yeast infection.no itching or burning. The treatment did not help the smell. It has now been a month and the smell is still here. I should be getting my period today but I haven t yet. I m hoping it will go away after my period. I have experienced white/clear discharge, and cramping, and bloating, no spotting. I ve felt around inside and it seems like things are swollen or enlargered Inside if that makes sense? Just wondering what this might be.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to bacterial vaginosis and associated yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out this. It is better to do a urine routine test and if puss cells are present then better to do a culture also. Pelvic examination by gynecologist should be done o rule out any pelvic infection also. For bacterail vaginosis if you were my patient then I would suggest using vaginal suppositories containng combination of antibiotics like clindmycin or metronidazole with clotrimazole. Using intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora is also recommended.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
