What Causes Large Amounts Of Vaginal Discharge?

I have slightly odd smelling, large amounts of vaginal discharge that is a light green and chunky. This was followed by severe itching for a few days. I am sexually active but only with one person in a monogamous relationship. I believe I had BV earlier this month as my vagina was very foul smelling, like ammonia. Do you think this is BV again?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Most probably it is recurrent bacterial vaginosis. Or it may be chlamydia and yeast infections as you are sexually active. Exact diagnosis require examination and proper investigation like vaginal microscopy, KOH mount, swab test, STD screenings by PCR and NAAT test. Doctor may give following advise: Tablet metronidazole for vaginosis, single dose treatment: azithromycine + flucanazole + tinidazole for chlamydia and yeast infections.
Foe itching you can apply hydrocortisone ointment or clotrimazole ointment.
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear, wash vagina with warm salted water 2-3 times per day, apply apple cider vinegar, keep the pelvic area clean, clean pevic area before and after urination, avoid sex till you get better, use condoms during sex.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
