I would like to know if this is all related to the contraceptive patch, if it is because I am not drinking enough water?

Question

Hello, I used the contraceptive patch for the first time on the first day of my period and I had my period for 1 week so I decided to stop it and my bleeding continued for another week for a total of 2 weeks. After that I had sex and now my urine is concentrated yellow and I also have a foul smelling vaginal discharge. However I have no pain when I urinate . Also my vaginal discharge is abundant thick white and smelly. .

Hello Ma'am, Don't drink enough fluids during the day can indeed help concentrate the urine and make it darker. However, this is not enough to explain the vaginal discharge you report especially if it is something new in your case. If you don't notice any change in your vaginal discharge within 3-5 days, a doctor should be consulted to properly assess the situation and, if necessary, not delay proper treatment. I will remain available if you have any further questions. Cordially, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
