Persistent Vulvovaginal Itching and Odor
For the past 6 to 7 months, I have been experiencing continuous, severe itching in my vulvar area, along with a persistent, foul-smelling vaginal odor. Because these symptoms have lasted for several months without resolving, I would like to get a full evaluation to determine the underlying cause and discuss appropriate treatment options."

Itching with odour lasting months points to an infection or irritation that needs proper testing, since several causes can look similar from the outside.
Next Steps
Please see a gynaecologist for an examination and a vaginal swab test to identify the exact cause before starting any treatment.
Health Tips
Avoid scented washes or douching in the meantime, as these often worsen the irritation.
