Suggest Treatment For Itching And White Vaginal Discharge

Hi. From past 2months I m undergoing itching, white cottage cheese kind discharge and visited two doctors, wherein my first doctor prescribed to take augmentin for a week and my face was swollen at the last 2days. I completed the course but of no use. And I visited another doctor, suggested for some urine test from that we got to know there is a bacteria present by that she prescribed for 7days course of tablets one directly consumed orally and other to use it through vagina..By this everything was cured at the end of a week... But soon after a 2nd week, again I m experiencing discharge and saviour itching in private part, which is totally red,sore and burning. I ve more itching in clitories and there is a small lump on my left-side of clitories which pains hard

Hi,

As per your complain it seems that thick cottage like white discharge that along with severe itching and red sore and burning can be most probably due to vaginal yeast infection known as vaginal thrush. Normally small amounts of yeast is present in the vagina but when the count increases over the normal counts then there is infection leading to the symptoms like those being experienced by you.

You will have to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Vaginal swab culture and Whiff test [to exclude bacterial infection causing bacterial vaginosis] can be advised for confirmation. In case if Thrush is ruled out you can be advised to take a weekly dose of oral anti fungal medication like Fluconazole for 3 weeks. Topical application of Clotrimazole vaginal cream and anti fungal pesseries can also be advised. Keep the area clean and dry. Wear cotton and loose fitting undergarments. Eat more of probiotics like yoghurt.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
