Hello,
You are suffering from UTI and are on prescription medicines. You just started your birth control pills. Clear vaginal discharge commonly occurs due to natural hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy. Hormonal imbalances cause of varying levels of clear vaginal discharge. Birth control pills also affect bacterial growth in the vagina that cause normal and abnormal discharge.
Anxiety, stress, depression, vaginal douching, can cause clear vaginal discharge. Stay away from all that. Leucorrhea and STD can also cause you such symptoms. You are suggested to take care of your hygiene. Take bath regularly, change clothes and underwear daily. Take home made balanced food rich in minerals and protein. Avoid exertion, take adequate rest. You are suggested to get clinically examined by an OBGYN, get blood workouts and required investigations done.
You may need a course of antibiotics. You can take uterine tonics for better uterine health. Get STD tests done to be on the safer side. If positive reports are obtained you will be treated with antibiotics and anti-virals. Avoid any kind of sexual activity for a couple of days. Always perform safe sex.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
