Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query
White,clear vaginal discharge is a normal phenemonon as it helps in cleansing of the vagina.The amount of discharge can increase during ovulation,pregnancy,stress,excitement etc.If the discharge is associated with any odour or changes in colour and consistency then it indicates any infection which can be fungal or bacterial in nature. Fungal infection is the most common cause for it as it occurs in warm,moist areas.
The discharge which you are having if it is cottage cheese like in appearance and has foul smell then it indicates fungal infection.
Wear loose cotton undies.
Apply tree tea oil mixed in water 2 times a day and keep the area dry.
Have lots of yoghurt in diet.
Do not apply any soap or harsh bodywashes in the area.
If the infection persists or the symptoms worsen kindly see a Gynaecologist for evaluation.You might require some prescription medications for controlling it.
Hope I have answered your query.I will be available to answer your follow up query if any.
