Brief Answer:
No need to take kit.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
You will finish your Metrogyl and itraconazole course and take vdm kit once weekly for rest 3weeks to complete the course.
No need to take vdm kit this week.
Your symptoms are suggestive of vaginitis, it is mainly due to fungal infection, keep the area dry and clean and drink a lot of warm water and soft diet, use antifungal medicine and cream for application. ( already taking and continue)
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards

Can I take vdm kit just for 1 day??and the doctor dint prescribe but do I need to take doxycycline too?? I am having this itchy and discharge problem repeatedly like on and off ,wht do u suggest me to do

Brief Answer:
You have to take it weekly

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for reply.
In my opinion you have to take vdm kit once weekly for one month and you can take Doxycycline medicine but there are too many medicines at a time as you are already taking itraconazole and Metrogyl.
You can go for Doxycycline instead of Metrogyl.
You should check your diabetes status as well.

But I have already taken metrogyl for 3 days already so should I still continue or stop and start taking doxy instead ?? My discharge is not curdy white but it’s watery whitish yellowish and smelly with itchy vagina so the doctor told me tht it might be bacterial vaginosis . I have taken a course of ciprofloxacin too in august cos of my infection and now the I got a new Infection again.. I apply vaginally candid-CL too so do I still take doxy??

Brief Answer:
Stop the medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If discharge is watery in consistency and not curdy ,you can stop the medicine.you can do diet changes and apply cream for itching purposes.
You can add lot of curd in your diet and avoid sugars.
So much antibiotics should not be advised because it may further increases your symptoms.
