Hello and hope you are doing well.

The discharge and odor that she is experiencing could be due to infections of the vagina. Vaginal candidiasis (Thrush infection) is the most common cause for vaginal discharge and itchiness. Treatment is by topical antifungal pessaries or vaginal tablets . Other infections of the vagina are bacterial vaginosis, trichomonasvaginalis and herpes vaginalis. Please consult your primary care physician who will examine her and ask for a few tests to determine the cause and treat.  

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi,
How is your sister? Are there other symptoms present? Any change in the private part or vaginal discharge or odor warrants further evaluation by a gynecologist to rule out infection. Pain medications may help provide relief. However, it is important that the underlying cause be treated to prevent complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Have her see a gynecologist for proper diagnosis. Take care and regards.
