What Causes Sharp Pain And Excess White Discharge From Vagina?

Sometimes when I walk, I feel a sharp pain in my vagina as if somebody shoved a thin slice of construction paper into it. And when I get home and take a shower, I always see a huge amount of white discharges in my vagina and I always scrape them off with my nails and the pain goes away. Is it safe to do that? I always rinse my vagina well with clean water everyday and I don t know what s the problem with my vagina.

Hallow Dear,

The description of your symptoms and the discharge suggests that you are suffering from fungal infection of vagina. You can get it confirmed by the examination of the discharge from the laboratory. This discharge also causes intense itching. The pain you are getting is due to the inflammation of vagina. Anti-fungal vaginal pessaries like candid will help you to cure this. This infection is most of the times sexually transmitted. However, in sexually inactive girls, commode use also is known to cause this infection.

May be you could be having trichomonal infestation which can be treated by Metronidazol.

If you are sexually active woman, both of you will have to get the treatment simultaneously lest the risk of reinfections. Both of you should follow the following instructions apart from the medicinal treatment:
1. Till both of you are declared completely cured, observe sexual abstinence.
2. Clean shave the private parts. The discharge stuck up in the hair causes reinfection.
3. Daily boil the underwear.
4. Use panty liner (for woman).
5. Cut the nails short.

Please report to the Gynaecologist for precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I am sure this clarifies your doubts.
