Hi,

As per you history, You are suffering from some bacterial infection at vagina like Trichomoniasis. In this situation I recommend you taking metronidazole 400 mg 3 times daily for 5 days. Make sure your sexual partners are properly tested and take the medication too. I suggest avoiding alcohol and maintain good hygiene. I also suggest antibiotics ointment apply locally and use condoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
