What Causes Greenish Foul Smelling Vaginal Discharge?
Question: I have a greenish fol smelly discharge, have tried treatment for yeast infection but it has not helped. Do I need antibiotics?
Brief Answer:
Bacterial or protozoal vaginal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Greenish foul smelling discharge is most likely due to bacterial or protozoal infection of the vagina. Yeast infection generally has a thick white discharge.
I suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally, investigated including vaginal smear and pap smear and get the further antibiotic treatment accordingly.
