Brief Answer:
Candidal infection likely.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.

The symptoms you are describing are suggestive of candidal infection or bacterial infection like trichomoniasis.

I will suggest you consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally, get a vaginal swab examination and get further treatment accordingly.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Regards.

Various causes.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Candidal infection can be sexually transmitted or can occur due to low immunity, improper hygiene, contamination from undergarments or derangement of blood sugar levels. Exact cause can be diagnosed with proper examination and investigations.
