Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

It appears as though you could be suffering from a vaginal infection. The causative organism (mostly bacterial or fungal) is unclear and will have to be found, but in such cases instead of requesting for a laboratory analysis of the vaginal swab or analysis of the vaginal discharge, doctor's usually advice medication which consists of antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties like CANDID-V in India.

I would advice you to visit the doctor as this is most probably either a bacterial or fungal infection which can be easily treated, and will require treatment, as it usually does not subside without treatment, and even if it does, it usually recurs. As you are sexually inactive, not many investigations would be required. It is best to seek medical treatment at the earliest, as these infections can be frustrating.

In the meantime, please keep the area clean and dry. Wear comfortable clothing and cotton undergarments.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
