What Causes Persistent Foul Vaginal Odor?

i have been intimate for about 2 weeks now. and before that my vagina started to smell, sometimes like fish and others just bad. well now that I have been intimate it has increased. not the fish smell but the just gross smell. I used monastat today and it seemed to take away some of the smell. what do you think I should do exactly, it would smell just bad for like a month before ive been intimate. im not sure whats wrong. what is your opinion

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to bacterial vaginosis and associated yeast infection. A swab test will be helpful to rule out the condition. For such condition I would recommend combination of clindamycin and clotrimazole as vaginal suppository or as oral tablets. Using intimate wash daily will be helpful also.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
