Suggest Treatment For Dry And Itchy Vagina With Discharge
I first thought I had yeast infection because I usually do. But then the itching wasn t so frequent even though at times it was really annoying. My vagina is really dry. I m discharging a whole lot and very often. It s thick and has a creamish mixed with a slight reddish or rusty colour kind of discharge. This is really frightening. The smell is raw and funny smelling... Please help. I m 17. I had sex a week ago but the symptoms were before that.

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the dry vagina with itching and white discharge do indicate bacterial or fungal infection of the female external genitalia. My guidelines for better recovery:
- Drink plenty of liquids and home made juices
- Take extra care of vaginal hygiene
- Avoid sexual intercourse at present till recovery
- Avoid prolong use of same tampons
- Avoid use of commercial bleach or wax for cleansing vaginal hair
- Cranberry sachet or pills
- Get a culture swab report of the vaginal discharge for microbiological diagnosis
- Empiric prescription of antibiotics as Clindamycin, Azithromycin or else with Metronidazole probiotics as lacto bacillus to support vaginal flora and pH maintenance
- Antihistamine for itching
- Prophylactic anti-fungal as Fluconazole (200 mg) once at night for 2 days
- Consume balanced nutritious diet to combat the immunity
- Avoid smoking and alcohol if consuming
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
