Hello,

Based on your description, it appears that you could be having excessive discharge due to vaginal infection by bacteria and yeast called 'vaginosis.' Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply antifungal medication 'Miconazole' available as pessary or vaginal capsule for 3 days.
3. Take a course of antibiotic tablet like Metronidazole.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments preferably made of cotton.

Maintain good personal hygiene. Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem and get back to normal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
