What Causes Heavy Vaginal Discharge After Using Vitamin C Vaginal Suppository?
Hi. I used a candy coated vitamin c as a vaginal suppository for 2 days and now I m getting thick cottage cheese like discharge. I don t know if it s because the vitamin c or if it s because I have already vaginal yeast or worst STD. Should I stop inserting the vitamin c? What should I do? Thank you

Hi,
Vitamin C vaginal suppository is used to treat bacterial vaginosis, it does not act on yeast infection. This vaginal discharge you see is called leukorrhea and is a side effect of vitamins. However, you may have a test for this to exclude a yeast infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
