General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.

I would like to know if you have undergone any investigations and details & duration of medicines you took.
Foul vaginal odour can be due to any vaginal infection or inadequate genital hygiene or urinary tract infection .
I recommend you to visit a gynecologist and do vaginal swab culture and microscopy as well as urinanalysis done .This will help to know the organism underlying infection.
Accordingly treatment has to be started.A 7-10 days course of oral antibiotics like cipro/metro or antifungals need to be taken.
Maintain genital hygiene by soap and water regularly and after sex.
Wear dry,loose,cotton underwear.Avoid douching.
If sexually active,consider evaluating and treating partner too for genital infections.


Hope I answered your query.
