HI,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
A foul smelling discharge in pregnancy indicates infection.It can be bacterial vaginitis / fungal infection.. both suggest carelessness in vaginal hygiene/ use of bubble bath ot vaginal sprays .. which alter vaginal Ph & facilitate infection & foul smell.
- Visit to a gynecologist.. & get specific treatment,( metranidazole/ clindamycin )
- Use of vaginal pills with lacto bacilli ( to normalize vaginal flora & ph
- Utmost care to maintain vaginal cleanliness ( no use of cosmetics please ) use plain clean water for washes & mop it dry.
thanks.
