What Causes Recurring Itching Sensation In Vagina?
For the past two months I have had problems with my vagina, but it was only itchy so I thought maybe is would be a yeast infection so I got the medication to treat a yeast infection but the itch is not going away. The only time it goes away is when I have my period but as soon as I get off a day or two the itch comes right back. I just got of my period today and now I m noticing a weird lump or swelling on one side of my vagina wall and I am unsure of what it may be

This is due to vaginal infection. Most of the times, vaginal infection is caused mixed organisms such as fungus, bacteria and protozoa.
Advice
1. Azithromycin 500 mg daily per oral for 3 days
2. Fluconazole 150 mg weekly per oral for 4 weeks – total 4 doses
3. Metronidazole 500 mg orally twice daily for seven days
4. Metronidazole gel 0.75%, one full applicator (5 g) intravaginally twice daily for 5 days
5. Investigation – blood sugar (F & PP), vaginal smear examination
Thanks
