Hi,
You seem to have a trichomonal vaginitis, where itching is characteristic & itching or rubbing causes inflammation, swelling & pain so does a sexual activity.
You need
- To take oral anti trichomonal medicine like Fluconazole along with antibiotic like Norfloxacin (as per need) orally along with local vaginal pessary of fluconazole /Treatment of both sex partners is essential for early &complete relief/avoid sex till both of you are declared to be relieved.
Please consult a gynaecologist for prescribing dosage after examination &determination of severity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
