Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
for close to a week my vagina has been itching, has been very sore at vaginal opening, and feels like a small knot on the lip of my vagina. Recently there has been brown discharge. . There were 3 small white spots on my clit before the itching and soreness began.Notice them about 3-4 before the yeast infection like symptoms started. Im currently on birth control and two nights ago began using monistat3. After two days of using monistat the itching hasn t stopped or eased up. My vaginal hole seems swollen and extreme pain when trying to have sexual penetration. I haven t had any cottage cheese like discharge only brown smelly discharge that looks like stool. Is this a yeast infection or something much worse.???
Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, vulvovaginits. I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo examination, vaginal swab test to confirm cause. Following treatment will help you: Single dose treatment of azithromycine + fluconazole + tinidazole Apply vaginal suppository of clingen and lactobacillus Apply vagisil cream Wash vagina with warm salted water and then apply apple cidar vinegar Wear pure cotton loose inner Avoid perfumed soap and chemical cosmetics, douching Maintain proper pelvic hygiene by using v vaginal plus wash Drink plenty of water, eat healthy diet Hope this may help you
