Hello do pinworms cause a foul odor to the vagina? i think a girl i work with has them.. and she works in the food industry. are they contagious ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaginal odor: A foul vaginal odor is an infection until proven otherwise, and it is usually bacterial, not pinworms. Yes, pinworms can be transmitted with intimate contact. A GYN MD visit is needed to treat the possible vaginal infection.
