Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

You seem to be suffering from Vaginitis. If I was your treating physician I
would perform a vaginal swab culture and urine culture first of all to
reach the confirm diagnosis and its type.....it may be either of three (
bacterial, fungal or trichomoniasis).
then my treatment plan would be according to the culture reports.
The most common type is fungal and for that I would suggest an oral course of tab. Fluconazole once daily or vaginal clotrimazole cream.
I would strongly recommend that you consult a gynecologist for this
problem as this medicine can have side effects and the dosage has to be
monitored carefully.

Implants such as Implanon have a side effect of causing irregularity of menstrual cycle....it is more common till 6-9 months of having the implant. If it extends longer than that I would recommend your consult your local gynaecologist for management of the side effects or some other alternate contraceptive method.

Meanwhile take extra care of hygiene of genital area, wear cotton
undergarments and frequents changing of tampons.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if
you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
