Question : I'm having a little discharge not with a Oder but white and I'm very irritable in the vaginal area

Brief Answer: Suspected vaginal thrush... Detailed Answer: Hi, Having a little white discharge with no odor is indicative for vaginal thrush to my opinion. I suggest to do a vaginal swab testing together with urine analysis to decide for specific treatment. Meanwhile, until the results are in, I advise to: - keep a good hygiene of your genitalia - avoid vaginal douche or soaps - wash your genitalia with chamomile tea each time you visit bathroom - wear cotton underwear - avoid intercourse until improvement - some of my patients have found it helpful applying Greek yogurt on the genitalia. You can try it too. - avoid sugary foods/drinks Hope it was of help! Let me know if you want to ask for anything else! Dr.Albana
