Foul smelling discharge after my periods, if i use intimate washes there's no smell, if i don't it comes back. would antibiotics permanantly help?

Bacterial : You have bacterial overgrowth or vaginosis which is more noticeable after periods due to the ph change with bleeding. Get checked and you will likely need an antibiotic treatment like metronidazole.
