What Causes Severe Itching Sensation And Unusual Odor In Vagina?

I ve been having problems with my vagina for almost a year, it has constantly been itching a lot and I ve been getting a lot of discharge. It sometimes smells a bit bread/yeast like which i read is a sign of a yeast infection. But i m not so sure about it. The itchiness started in december last year and the last time i was sexually active was in september last year.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. If there is fishy odour then there can be a coexisting Bacterial Vaginosis also. A swab test wll be helpful to rule out this. In such case if you were my patient then I would suggest using vaginal suppository/tab containing combination of antifungal like Clotrimazole and antibiotic like Clindamycin. Using intimate wash daily is also good to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
