Thanks doc so what type of antibiotic would you recommend?should i use antibacterial soaps to bathe?Is vaginal cleaning wash product goid to bathe?should i douche?

Answered by Dr. Dalia Muraleedharan (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Antibiotics based on sensitivity

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
thanks for writing..

Get a vaginal swab and based on its sensitivity, take the antibiotics.. You can use antibacterial soap for taking bath but avoid excessive use of soap in the vaginal area.. Instead use V wash to wash the genital area twice daily.. No, douching shouldnot be done, it accelerates infection and also kills normal vaginal flora..

Hope i have answered your query.. good day..

Brief Answer:
You can use panty liner

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
thanks for writing..

Yes, if there is discharge, you can use pantyliner.. No, it doesnot cause cervical cancer..

Bleeding between periods can be due to hormonal changes.. once infection cures, you can see for cervical test with your doctor and get a pap smear..

No, food doesnot cause smell in discharge.. get infection treated first..
