What Causes Foul Vaginal Odour While On An Iron Supplement?

Hi I’ve been taking iron pills for the last two weeks because I am anemic. I noticed after a week of taking the pills my vagina have been smelling like spoiled milk. I have no itch or pain, but the smell is really bad. I don’t smell it when I pull my underwear down I only smell it when I put my fingers to my discharge and smell. The discharge is creamy and white but there is not a lot of it. I’ve had a yeast infection before like over a year ago or maybe two. But it’s not like a yeast infection. Please help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no relationship between iron supplements and foul smelling vagina.

You can take Doxycycline and Fole tablet. Keep the part clean. Consult your physician for prescription.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
