Hi,
Prednisone belongs to the group of medications known as
corticosteroids or steroids is used to treat conditions such as
arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems, severe allergies, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems, immune system disorders and many more. Any change in the balance of normal bacteria in the vagina can affect the smell, color or discharge texture. Medications like Prednisone may cause such type of changes and thus develop foul smelling abnormal
vaginal discharge.
Again, Prednisone may aggravate
fungal infection in the vagina and which may cause vaginal discharge that is foul smelling in nature. Such type of side effect may be disappeared after stop taking this medication. However, if this persists for long or bother you, then you should consult your doctor promptly for medical attention. Stop taking this medication abruptly may develop some unpleasant side effects that is known as withdrawal syndromes. Thus, don't stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
