HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you may have bacterial vaginosis. This is not considered a sexually transmitted infection , it causes a fishy vaginal discharge.

It can be treated with oral or topical medication.

Topical treatments include metrogel , oral treatment include metronidazole and tinidazole.

I hope this helps
