A member asked:
I just switched my birth control from microgestin to lutera. the odor of my vagina seems to have gotten stronger. is that from the birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Odor getting stronger is too vague a description. It would be unusual for a change in odor without vaginal discharge or irritation which can occur with lutera. If this keeps up see your gynecologist and get examined. Good luck.
