What Does Smelly Vaginal Discharge While On Nuvaring Indicate?
I recently switched from birth control pills to the nuvaring. I have only been using it for a little less than a week but I have gotten this unusual odor that I ve never had before along with some discharge that seems to be more than usual. No burning or itching or anything like that. Just smelly discharge. Could I do something about this? What is causing the smell?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, birth control medicine could cause leucorrhea but it may not give bad odor and if this is so then it could be due to fungal infection and it can be well managed with "Povidone Iodine" vaginal suppository, and no need to worry about it, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
