A member asked:

I just had a complete laparoscopic hysterectomy a week and a half ago. i immediately started taking clindamycin after but i have an unpleasant vaginal odor. no itching, burning, or discharge just slight bleeding. is the smell normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked by GYN: You need to get the vaginal odor examined for an infection by the GYN MD who did the surgery. An unpleasant odor post-op is usually one of the first signs of a surgical site infection
