Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection of vagina) is known to cause white milky discharge.
You can use topical antifungal pessaries or vaginal tablets containing clotrimazole. You can follow one to three days regimen depending on the severity of infection.
In case the infection is severe, you can add antifungal medications containing fluconazole to be taken orally.
Take care to keep the area clean and under good hygiene.
Wear loose undergarments to keep the area ventilated till the condition gets cured completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
