What Causes Foul Vaginal Odour?

My vagina has been smelling like onion for the past couple of weeks and it smells like that specifically during/after sex. I thought I had a yeast infection so I took some vaginal suppositories and didn t realize it was expired until afterwards. It s been expired for a couple of years, so I don t know if that s something that s wrong with it or I have BV. I don t have an STD; I haven t eaten onions/garlic/asparagus for the past couple of weeks.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are sexually active, possibility of vaginal infection is more likely for your foul smell from vagina.
You used expired suppositories. This can't further worsen infection.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination of vagina.
Avoid sexual intercourse for few days.
Avoid moisture and perspiration in private parts. Keep proper hygiene of private parts. Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
