While there can be many causes of white discharge, irritation at the inner pelvic area, frequent urges to pee and foul smell, these symptoms could potentially indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI occurs when bacteria enters the urinary tract system, which includes the bladder, kidneys and ureters.
Typically UTIs are treated with antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. However it is important to seek medical attention right away if you experience any of these symptoms as they can worsen over time. Some other self-care methods that can help include drinking plenty of fluids such as water and cranberry juice, taking multivitamins consisting of Vitamin C & Echinacea (an immunity booster), changing soaps or detergents used for cleaning during underwear changes and making sure not to wear tight fitting clothing that traps moisture in your pelvic area. Additionally avoid activities such as cycling or sitting for too long which will pressure on your bladder leading to increased chances of infection.
It is important to act quickly if you notice any concerning symptoms since complications from a UTI left untreated may lead to kidney infections – an even more serious condition that might require hospitalization for intravenous antibiotics - so it's best not take any risks if you think you have one.
