Sometimes the community of normal bacteria gets out of balance. Two frequent culprits are:
- Bacterial overgrowth. This can create a noticeable, sometimes fish-like odor with thin, grayish discharge.
- Yeast overgrowth. This may bring thicker white discharge, itch, and a breadlike or sour scent.
Both are common and treatable. Your clinician can confirm the cause and recommend safe options. If clinic travel is tough, a telehealth doctor visit can often start the process. Many treatments are available through an online pharmacy, and your health insurance plan may cover prescription options.
