General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think you should do a stool test checking for bacteria, candida or parasites. The treatment depends on the kind of infection which is causing it. Also do a vaginal smear to get checked. A vaginal infection may cause the unpleasant odor also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
