Does Itching And Soreness In Vagina Indicate Yeast Infection?

I have itching and soreness in my vagina, and because of the itching I feel horney all the time. I think it is a yeast infection but I don't have cottage cheese discharge. The discharge I have is brownish and kinda looks like dirt when I wipe. I have been using monoxodyl for almost a week now and the symptoms have lessened but are still there. Does this sound like a yeast infection to you?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you could be having is suggestive of mixed bacterial and yeast infection.
Kindly maintain good hygiene by washing the area twice daily with warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Savlon. Following this, you can also use pH balancing solution like V-wash.
Kindly take a course of antifungal medication like fluconazole in the form of cream application or pessaries for 3 successive days. Along with this, take a course of metranidazole for associated bacterial infection.
Wear loose fitting undergarments and abstain from sexual activity till the symptoms subside completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
