What Is The Cure For The Vagina Discharge Causing Bad Odor During The Prior Week For Periods?

hello, i keep having a vaginal discharge with seriously offensive odor reoccuring during the week prior to my menstruation and the week after. However, i don't experience this any other time during the month, so what is the cause of this? i received antibiotics for this already, and was told that during the week before and after menstruation, i'm most susceptible to infections due to the change in the ph balance. Seriously, i can't live like this, what can be done to change this dreaded situation!

Hello,

Offensive discharge is due to infection, and you are right it is due to PH change to maintain ph use v wash to wash private parts and maintain ph. Don't wear wet garments, clean private parts properly, don't use hard soap there just use V wash, change pads frequently at time of periods.

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