      when i first had noticed it i also had a uti which i put down to that at first i treated it with antibiotics and the uti symptoms went away i noticed a burning tingling sensation on the outside of the vagina and started getting itchy round the opening and bad smelling discharge i went to doctors they said it was bv the tablets they gave me i took 5 tablets in one dose every month for 5 months it took some things away like the tingling and itching but the smelly discharge was still there it went up from my cervix to my ovaries and thats when things got pretty painful so i was put back on the tabets for another 2 weeks which got rid of the pelvic problems but not the discharge i then got yeast infection from all the antibiotics so treated that and went back to the doctors as was running out of things to treat it with the clndamycin cream was the last thing to try
