The results of examination of vaginal discharge shows presence of infection with multiple bacteria and fungus.
Under normal conditions, at low pH Lactobacillus is the bacteria which is found in the vagina.
When there is infection by various organsms, the pH is increased and clinically the women suffers from features of discharge.
You need a course of antibiotics and antifungals.
Topical application may also be added in case of local irritation.
It is good to abstain from sex till the time the discharge disaapears.
