What Causes White Itchy Vaginal Discharge After A Menstrual Cycle?
Hello. I m a type 2 diabetic & take prescribed meds for high blood pressure. I ve had a new sexual partner in which I had a yellowish type discharge later found to possibly be a bacterial infection. I ve taken 2 different types of meds topical & vaginal recently a new one clindamycin. I ve been tested for everything in the book but this discharge (no longer yellow) Will not go away & I m only noticing it now after my cycle. Any suggestions on what the problem is. Discharge is now white & itchy almost like yeast but nothing is working for that either. Thanks for any advice given!

Hi,
White, curd like discharge with itching indicates Trichomonas (fungal) infection. You would need Fluconazole (Flucotii) pills orally 2 pills each taken by both partners along with vaginal pills till get rid of the infection. Avoid sex till complete relief.
In case of no use, a culture & sensitivity test would help for choice of specific medication. Consult a gynecologist in that case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
