A member asked:

Hi i had candida took the meds and i was fine. the itch and thick discharge comes and goes now i have this foul smell on my discharge after my periods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odor after menses: A "foul odor" after one's menses may be due to other than a "yeast infection". Occasionally this is due to a vaginal bacterial infection secondary to a tampon retained during menses. See your gyn provider for an exam and culture .
