Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Itching and burning sensation in vagina along with bad odour are early symptoms that could be associated with yeast infection.
Kindly take the following measures to overcome the same.
1. Wash the area with warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice a day.
2. Following this, you can use vaginal pH regulating solution like 'v wash'.
3. Apply antifungal medication as single dose like Fluconazole in the form of vaginal cream or pessary.
4. Wear clean and loose fitting undergarments till the symptoms subside.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely. Maintain good genital hygiene.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
