Suggest Treatment For Itchy Vagina And Yellow Discharge
Question: Hi I have a really itchy vagina and got yellow discharge and also itching around my anus is this thrush
Brief Answer:
Vaginal yeast infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
According to your information, it is MOSTLY suggestive of yeast infection. I suggest you to undergo one vaginal swab test to confirm the diagnosis.
TREATMENT: 1) Oral anti-fungal medicine (Fluconazole) or Vaginal suppository (combined Clindamycin and Clotrimazole) can be used for 7 to 10 days. Kindly, procure complete prescription from your doctor.
2) Use vaginal moisturizer cream like RepHresh pH gel or VAGISIL cream to avoid repeated infection and maintain vaginal pH. Maintain genital hygiene properly.
3) Wear only clean and cotton clothes. Don't wear any tight fitting clothes or underwear to avoid repeated friction/ irritation. Take sound sleep adequately.
4) Take healthy diet with anti oxidant (like Vitamin -E or C, Selenium, Zinc etc) supplements. Drink plenty of water or juice for better systemic circulation. You must LIMIT salty/ sugary/ fatty foods.
5) Avoid chemical cosmetics, perfume or scented bath products around genital area. Keep the area mostly dry. You should avoid unprotected intercourse with chemical lubricant until problem is resolved completely.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
Regards,
Dr S Patra
