General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I understand your concern.
looking at the details of your health you have given I see following possibilities for your problem.-
- Since you have high WBC count, infection must be ruled out. Ovarain, endometrial, pelvlc infammation can cause it.
- If you are still mensruating, pregnancy complications can cause it.

- Hormonal imbalance due to conditions like PCOD, Diabetes, premenopause,
- Ovarian cysts, fibroid uterus can be the cause.
In short , consultation of a gynecologist, USG lower abdomen, high vaginal swab testing would help in pinpointing the cause & specific treatment.
Thanks.
