Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to bacterial vaginosis associated with yeast infection. It is better to have a local and Pelvic examination and swab to rule out that. In such case i usually advise antibiotics with combination of Metronidazole or clindamycin with clotrimazole as vaginal suppository or oral tab. Using intimate wash will be helpful in normalizing vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting further infections also. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
