Question 4

i had vaginitis, i got medicine for it. my depakote causes it. i only have it when i got my period. i  notice a small odor+things floating in urine?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure: About your Depakote deduction.  Vaginitis is caused by bacteria from the colon colonizing the vagina.  Blood happens to help these bacteria along.  Watch the thong, it's like a wick going back to front.  Use of metronizadole vaginal after menses should help the odor by killing the bacteria.  Limiting flow with the pill may help.
