Hello,
You are suffering from some bacterial infection at vagina like Trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis can be cured with antibiotics.
Your doctor may recommend metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax).Make sure your sexual partners are properly tested and take the medication, too. Not having any symptoms doesn’t mean they don’t have the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. PRAMOD KOKARE
