Hello,

Since you are experiencing pain and itching in the vagina it can be due to infection, UTI, bacterial vaginosis, bacterial yeast infection, etc. Other medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms are (STIs) that lead to brown spotting or bleeding. Some infections, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia should be tested. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Get blood workouts, urinalysis (R/E and C/S) and required imaging tests done.

You will have to get STD tests done, if tests are positive you will be treated with antibiotics and antivirals. If its UTI, you will be treated accordingly. You are suggested to avoid sex for a couple of days if sexually active. Take care of your personal hygiene, avoid douching. Wear cotton clothes. Do not use public wash rooms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
