Vaginal foul smell for over 1 year - #10800
I had a surgical Abortion in June last year and had a loop inserted the same day. Everything went well until after a few days I started having pain in my abdomen but didn’t go to the hospital, I took self prescribed doxycycline but nothing changed and I started having foul smell. Two months later, I went to the hospital where they gave me an injection and meds but changed for only a few days, after some I went back and was prescribed some other medication which changed for a few days also. After two months I went to a different hospital where I was prescribed a longer dose which didn’t really help also. Now it’s been over a year and I’ve bad foul smell in my vagina and even worse when am having sex! I even removed the loop two months ago but no change.

Please don’t medicine until and unless these test are done, follow a registered doctor:

Avoid self-medicating further without guidance – resistant infections need culture-based treatment. Avoid intercourse until symptoms resolve completely. Remove all scented products, tight underwear, or douching tese worsen the flora imbalance.
