Any abnormal vaginal discharge that is accompanied by a foul odor is a strong indication that there is an infection. Although problems with urination such as a throbbing pain or a burning sensation are not uncommon, it is not necessary that you will have this symptom. This symptom is generally indicative of the fact that the infection has spread through the urethra and possibly even to the bladder.
You will have to visit your doctor to determine the type of infection you have, since there are several types of infections caused by bacteria, yeasts and several other types of protozoa that cause these symptoms. You may or may not suffer from itchiness or inflammation. In most cases, these infections clear up without any treatment as long as you maintain extremely strict hygiene standards.
However, it is better to treat these infections as soon as possible as they could lead to serious health issues if they do spread to your bladder or kidneys. There are also several home remedies to get rid of vaginal discharge and odor.
It is extremely important that you drink a lot of liquids throughout your day – at least 8 glasses. In addition to this, warm one glass of water and add the juice of two freshly squeezed lemons to it. Mix this well and drink it while it is still warm. Do this once more in the evening. This lemon juice remedy helps to keep the urine acidic in nature and this helps to get rid of the microbes causing the infection. In addition to this, you can also drink one glass of cranberry juice daily for about a week as this will also help to cleanse your entire urinary tract. You should also wash yourself thoroughly with warm water and mild soap before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning. This will help to control the spread of microbes on the surface of the skin. Make sure that you keep yourself completely dry at all times as microbes require moist surroundings to thrive.
There are several things that you should not do when you have a vaginal infection. Do not use tampons as these could lead to an increase in the population of bacteria or fungus and make sure that you change your sanitary napkins regularly. Do not use a douche unless your doctor has specifically told you to do so as they can do more harm than good.
