Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like:
1) Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor [Gyn] and do an ultrasound.
2) Discuss prescription medication like [metronidazole] and it is cream on the vagina.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Try to avoid baths, hot tubs. Rinse soap from your outer genital area after a shower, and dry the area well to prevent irritation. Don't use scented or harsh soaps, such as those with deodorant or antibacterial action.
2) Avoid irritants. These include scented tampons and pads. Wipe from front to back after using the toilet. Doing so avoids spreading fecal bacteria into your vagina.
3) Don't douche. Your vagina doesn't require cleansing other than normal bathing. Repetitive douching disrupts the normal organisms that reside in the vagina and can actually increase your risk of vaginal infection. Douching won't clear up a vaginal infection.
4) Try to use a latex condom. Both male and female latex condoms may help you avoid infections spread by sexual contact.
5) Try to wear cotton underwear and if you feel comfortable without it, skip wearing underwear to bed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
