Smelly vaginal discharge and birth control Posted: 12-08-06 09:52am
I read one the questions listed before and
mine goes a little deeper.. I also just
finished my menstrual cycle and have
smelliness. But I also have excess
discharge that is causing the smell. It is
a bothersome amount too. I took the
morning after pill just to be safe a
couple days ago and it was right after
that it started happening. Could it be a
side effect of that? Should I be worried
and what should I do?

Smelly vaginal discharge is not a side
effect of the pill but may be the result
of a vaginal infection (colpitis). You can
go to your gynecologist for a vaginal
examination, a Pap-test and a vaginal
smear for microbiology to diagnose and
identify the cause.
