Hi Thanks for your query at HCM!
According to me you are possibly suffering from yeast infection like vaginal cansidiasis/ thrush caused by candida albicans.
Get investigated for vaginal wet mount microscopy, microbial culture, and antigen tests for fungus.
Get your pregnancy test done if needed. Get your blood sugar fasting and post prandial checked. HIV may also get tested by ELISA.
You are advised to take Oral Agent fluconazole as a single dose along with your current treatment.
I would like to know have you been taking antibiotics ? As this could be risk factor.
I hope I was of help.
Take care!
