A gynaecologist and Managing Director of Mand M Hospital, Fertility and IVF Centre, Dr Prosper Igboeli, has advised women to shun the abuse of antibiotic drugs for their own health benefit.

Igboeli gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja

Igboeli said that such practices contribute to major causes of offensive vaginal odour.

The medical expert said that women who stopped the use of oral contraceptives, also experience increased vaginal discharge.

According to him, the increased vaginal discharge has been recorded against women who stopped the use of the oral contraceptive.

“They have undergone some course of antibiotics and contracted venereal diseases following unprotected and unsafe sexual practices,” he said.

Igboeli explained that some women used to have an overgrowth of yeast after they finish antibiotic treatment which is called yeast infection.
