Had Slight Vaginal Itch. Used Diva Dup. Why Is There Odd Odour And Pink Discharge?

Ive had a slight vaginal itch before My attempts at using this new device called a "diva cup" instead of tampons. After the use I've noticed an odd odor and a pink-orangish discharge along with the same mild itch... It's embarrassing am uncomfortable could you suggest a possible diagnoses to come my nerves before I go to the clinic

Hi,
From history it seems that you had problem of vaginal itching before using new device, it indicates this problem might not be due to new device.
You might be having fungal infection on the part.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
After consulting your doctor go for specific treatment.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care
