What Causes Foul Odour In Genitals After Stopping Depo Shots?
Went off Depo shot 5 months ago. Having odd odor now. Not typically s smelly sweat person and normal smelling vagina but since going off my pits smell different and if they get sweaty they smell horrible and my vagina is, well inside my vagina smells ok but my underwear smell, when I go to the bathroom it smells up the room, a few hours after I shower it just has this smell. It wasn t this way before just started after stopping the shot. Went to dr and nothing grew from a urine culture so I m not sure why I m having this problem

Hello,
It is normal vaginal smell change due to hormonal changes as you did the Depo shots.
I think you should run a vaginal swab testing to evaluate if there is any abnormal bacterial or fungus growth.
Discuss this further with your gynecologist.
Keep the genitalia well clean and dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
