I recently had a mc & now i have a odd vagina odor, is it possible that my dr could just prescribe me antibiotics just in case of an infection ?

Dr. Christina Adberg answered

Need an exam: It's never the best option to prescribe antibiotics without an exam. The reason for the odor should be determined, and the location of the infection should be clarified. For example, a simple vaginitis might be treated with a vaginal cream, but a uterine infection might require stronger oral antibiotics.
