What Causes Irritation And Foul Odor In The Vagina?
I haven t had sex in two weeks but all of a sudden today, I got a slight irritation in my vagina. I don t have any discharge or unpleasant odor coming from my vagina, just an irritating feeling. I took a screening kit for vaginal infections and it seemed to come back abnormal. I went to my doctor the week before all this happened and the doctor found no abnormalities. What could possibly be the issue?

Hi,
Thanx forthe query. I understand your concern.
Only sex is not the factor causing vaginal infection/foul smell.
Personal hygiene... genital/during menstruation or routine... can cause infection by yeast... which may not have any remarkable symptoms to start with... but it does alter vaginal ph&normal vaginal flora to result in foul smell.
Vaginal swab test will reveil the causative organism .Specific treatment would help.
Thanks.
