Hello,
A lot more information and a comprehensive workup are necessary to get to the root of the problem that is affecting your health as you have described.
Please consult a physician to get a thorough review of what has been happening to you and over what time alongside the occurrences in your personal, social and professional life as mind and psyche have a huge bearing on physical health and the resistance that the body offers to dis-ease and illnesses.
With that background, I would suggest getting full blood count, liver and kidney function tests performed along with looking for thyroid function tests. The vaginal discharge may be an incidental finding or part of symptom group that has surfaced due to compromised health and body immunity. A gyne examination will show the nature of discharge and swabs can be taken at the same time to check for infection.
I hope this helps to give you a direction to work towards health and well being by understanding the underlying issue or issues. Please do visit a doctor preferably a physician who can offer you a thorough investigation and manage symptoms and the underlying cause. If need be you can be referred to appropriate Specialist. I would once again emphasize taking timely action in view of weight loss and other associated problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sabina Hussain
