Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. Flagyl (metronidazole) is given for bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. I usually suggest a combination of metronidazole or clindamycin with clotrimazole which also covers yeast infection also. You can get clotrimazole cream which is available as over the counter in brands like monistat for local application for yeast infection.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
