Brief Answer:
Mixed vaginal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
You seem to have mixed vaginal infection.
The exact causative organism causing this should be determined by a high vaginal swab examination and microbiological correlation.
The antibiotics should be done according to the sensitivity of the organism, and only then the infection is likely to get treated completely.
You should consult an OBGYN specialist for the same.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Prenatal exercise

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
This pain in the back and the hips is likely due to the stretching of ligaments due to enlargement of the uterus.
This pain gets relieved in a particular position.
You can do prenatal exercises like butterfly exercise to get relief.
