Hello,
You probably have a yeast infection also known as candidiasis. You will need oral and topical antibiotics to treat the infection.You should see your doctor for examination and a prescription. Try to avoid intercourse until the infection is cleared.

what do you mean by candidiasis doc.?do you think this is normal for a women like me.
Its a type of fungal infection.Its very common in women in seen widely all around the world. Hygiene is main causative factor.Repeated infections may be seen in diabetics.So you should get your blood sugar checked also.Apart from that,antibiotics will provide adequate infection.Typical signs are itching, curdy white discahrge, inflammation. Avoid intercourse till infection clears. Maintain good hygiene. It can be associated with vaginitis also which is caused due to an imbalance in the normal vaginal flora.Symptoms are similar.Treatment is the same.

it is possible that this happen because i work in housekeeping in a and hotel and alot of guest room that i clean every day? and why in my vigina?
It usually occurs due to mad hygiene or even sharing towels etc.Buts its very treatable. The vagina is a common site due to the mucous membrane being susceptible. You need to keep clean and take the medication. Im sure your job isnt the problem here.
