Hi and thanks for the query,

This would require a good clinical evaluation, vaginal examination and some direct exams and cultures of the discharge. A history of unprotected sexual intercourse is necessary to be known since the treatment in this case might also include the sexual partner. Other characteristics like the color and odor of discharge are important to discriminate between common causes of these symptoms like candida, trichomonas vaginalis and gardenerela.

Consulting your family physician would precise all these, getting the tests done, and with the cultures, specific antibiotics to the causative agents prescribed. Avoiding unprotected sex at this point is vital and you might have to encourage your sexual partner, if any, to get himself consulted by a physician.

Thanks and best regards,

Bain LE, MD.
