General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to bacterial vaginosis. A vaginal examination by a gynecologist and swab test will be helpful to rule out the condition. If bacterial vaginosis and you were my patient then i would advise combination of antibiotic like metronidazole or clindamycin with clotrimazole as vaginal suppository or as oral tablet. I also recommend to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
