A member asked:

I have e coli detected in my urine and been prescribed 300mg trimethoprim anti biotics. i have vagina odour. will trimethopin clear this up as well?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI: You probably have cystitis (bladder infection) that is quite common in women and should clear with the medication you are receiving. Whether the vaginal odor will change depends upon its cause. If this is bacterial vaginosis trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole may not have an effect. You should go and be examined by a gynecologist. Best wishes.
