What are the reasons for a bad smell in the vagina after taking medication for a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

The doctor got pregnant due to an accident in the first two months and underwent medication-induced abortion at 40 days. However, after the abortion, she experienced a foul odor in her vagina and has taken some medication, but the symptoms have not stabilized. Local doctors advised her to focus on taking anti-inflammatory drugs, which she has been taking for nearly 10 days now. Can she take some other medication?

Doctor's answer:

If after a miscarriage, there is an odor in the vagina, it may be a symptom caused by an inflammatory infection. Since you have been taking anti-inflammatory medication after the miscarriage and have now taken it for nearly ten days, it is necessary to stop the medication and then go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If there is no skin breakdown now, you can be examined for the possibility of vaginitis. If the examination reveals vaginitis, you may consider using a vaginal wash and inserting medication for treatment.
