General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, greetings! Thanks for your query. I have read your history and I suspect you to have a situation called bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. Bacterial vaginosis is a situation caused by the overgrowth of a bacteria called gardnerella. The symptoms include vaginal discharge, burning sensation and discomfort while passing urine. Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite called Trichomonas Vaginalis. The symptoms include vaginal discharge with a fish-like smell, burning sensation while passing urine. For both these conditions, I prescribe my patients a drug called Flagyl. I suggest you to get a physical examination from a local gynaecologist and a vaginal discharge specimen to be examined under the microscope, so that you can be prescribed relevant drugs.
