Brief Answer:
Get a swab test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

In a women who is not sexually active, the infection can be mainly fungal infection.. Masturbation by rubbing the clitoris can also cause infection..

Get a vaginal swab along with swab from the clitoris to see for fungus.. Get a urine routine..

If there is fungal infection, get it treated with antifungal creams containing clotrimazole after consulting your doctor.. Keep the area clean and dry.. Avoid excessive use of soap in the genitalia as it can kill the normal commensal of vagina..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day..
