How Can Foul Vaginal Odor And Itching Be Treated?

I ve been experiencing a smelly order from my vagina sort of a musky smell and it started to go away and then I had sex with my partner and the next day my vagina felt very irritated. I took a shower to clean it and everything and it didn t go away it s a burning intense itching feeling all over my vulva (I think that s correct) Its so intense I can t stand it . It s been like his for about week. My partner has a foot nail fungus and I remember him messing with his feet around the same time this happened. a few day ago he said his testicles started having a tingling sensation and I brought up maybe he got jock itch from his feet. Then I thought maybe that s what is happening to me. I do handle his dirty socks as well.. is this possible? Please help!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Foul vaginal odour and itching in vagina are symptoms suggestive of yeast infection, which could have been caused due to poor genital hygiene.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Cleanse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply antifungal vaginal pessary or cream containing medication like fluconazole or miconazole.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to counter itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments preferably made of cotton.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the symptoms and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
