Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due bacterial vaginosis. A swab test will be helpful to rule out this. If you have discharge from inside it is better to have a pelvic examination by gynecologist to rule out pelvic inflammatory disease. In case of positive signs ultrasound examination will be needed to confirm it. For bacterial vaginosis i would suggest using vaginal suppositories containing combination of antibiotic like clindamycin and anti fungal like clotrimazole. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
