I have an unusual discharge, which is thick and smelly, but does not feel itchy. What should I do?

I am on an acne treatment with Minocycline, which can promote the development of vaginitis.

Hello!
😀
It is true that minocycline can make yeast vaginitis by altering the vaginal flora. However, there is no foul odor in yeast vaginitis.
How would you describe the odor? (Like a fishy smell?) And the secretions are what color?
Thank you!

Hello,
They are white and have a cheesy smell I would say...

Thank you for these details.
In such a situation, the best thing to do is to go to a pharmacy and get Canestenâ„¢ in a 7-day treatment.
If after 4 days, the discharge has not decreased, then it will be better to consult a doctor.
Good day,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
