How long does the nasty vaginal smell last after a hysterectomy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Some weeks: The vaginal odor after a hysterectomy is a combination of small amounts of blood from healing incisions and somewhat of discharge from suture material. As the vaginal incisions heal, the bleeding stops and the suture finishes dissolving the odd odor goes away. This can take 3-5 weeks in my observation.

Varies: Some of the odor can be due to the suture material used. However, if you are having a foul discharge you could have an infection - see your doctor.
