Hi , Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options .

Basically, vagina contains various bacteria and other micro organisms. Due to war.th and moisture of vagina and natural increase in the moisture during pregnancy a typical smell can be found during pregnancy.

I will suggest use of Lactacyd vaginal wash alternate days at the time of Bath. Also Clindamycin vaginal tablets one at night for 7 days will be of help. Keep private parts clean and dry.

Please keep watch if there is smell or itching due to vaginal discharge.

I hope this answer helps you.
Enjoy your pregnancy.
Thanks
