Watery vaginal discharge with a fishy odor may indicate vaginitis. In most cases, it is bacterial vaginosis. When there is a noticeable vaginal or discharge odor, a routine vaginal discharge examination can help confirm the type of vaginitis, allowing for targeted and more effective treatment. Maintain a positive mood, strengthen your body's immunity, and engage in moderate exercise. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment.
