Vaginal discharge that is colorless and increases before your period can be normal due to hormonal changes, but the foul smell, especially after intercourse, suggests there could be an imbalance or mild infection.

Possible Causes:
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): This common condition can cause foul-smelling discharge, often stronger after intercourse.
Imbalanced Vaginal Flora: Changes in vaginal pH due to hormonal fluctuations, semen, or stress can lead to odor.
Ayurvedic Management:
1. Herbal Remedies:

Yoni Pichu (Vaginal Insert) with Triphala Kashaya: Soak a sterile cotton ball in Triphala decoction and gently place it inside for 10-15 minutes. This helps cleanse and balance vaginal flora.
Chandraprabha Vati: Supports reproductive health and balances vaginal discharge.
Dosage: 1 tablet twice daily after meals with warm water.
2. Dietary Tips:

Consume probiotic-rich foods like yogurt to restore healthy vaginal flora.
Avoid spicy, fried foods, and processed sugars which can worsen discharge.
3. Hygiene Tips:

Wash with a mild, pH-balanced vaginal wash. Avoid douching as it can disrupt the natural flora.
Wear breathable cotton underwear and change if it gets damp.
When to See a Doctor:
If the smell persists or is accompanied by itching, burning, or colored discharge (yellow/green), consult a gynecologist for evaluation. You may need a vaginal swab test to rule out infections like BV or yeast infection.

Conclusion:
A mild odor can be normal before periods, but persistent foul smell after intercourse might indicate an imbalance or mild infection. Regular Ayurvedic care and good hygiene should help, but consult a gynecologist if symptoms continue.
