Q. Why is my vagina smelling like rotten eggs?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

How are you doing? The possible causes are:

1. If a tampon is left in for a long time or unhygienic methods of insertion. You can stop using tampons and use sanitary pads till fine. Use vaginal wash twice a day for a week.
2. If you have a urinary infection. This will need confirmation of infection with testing urine. Antibiotic and a lot of water.
3. Polyps or fibroids in the endometrial cavity or the cervix. This has to be confirmed with a pelvic scan. As you are not sexually active, infection is ruled out.

Hope I have clarified your queries, do write back. All the best.
