General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It is trichmoniasis that causes itching, soreness and unpleasant odor. White discharge is caused by fungal infection (yeast/candida), it can also be due to allergy, condom/latex, contraceptive foams, scented toilet paper, harsh soap, etc).

No worries, get examined in ER along with your husband (both the spouses should get all investigations done), antifungals, vaginal suppositories, antibiotics are effective. Get treated. Avoid sex for a couple of days. Take plenty of water.

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

Hello,

It may be due to the following reasons:

1)-friction induced
2)-allergic
3)-infectious

I would have the advice to use some antibacterial plus low dose steroid cream, it will relieve the itch.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Meena Jethani , OBGYN
