I'm noticing a strange odor from my vagina and I'm not sure what it might be. My partner has herpes, but we're always really careful and take a lot of precautions. I've been feeling fine otherwise, but this smell is making me nervous. Could something serious be going on?

The bad odor from your vagina could be caused by various factors such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, trichomoniasis, or poor hygiene, and while herpes isn't typically associated with vaginal odor, it's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I'm currently using a Symbicort 320 inhaler and I'm a bit worried about how to manage it after my c-section delivery. I'm concerned I might not be able to inhale it properly when the time comes, considering the incision and all. Could you advise me on any alternative medications I should consider for that period? I'm at 30 weeks and 0 days into my pregnancy today.
