How Can Vaginal Itching Be Treated?

I have been facing discomfort in my vaginal region for the past one month, my vagina is itchy always and I happen to have a burning sensation sometimes, with an urge to pee but with very minimal urination. There was a curdy discharge earlier, I was using Candid Dusting Powder and it got better, but the itching is recurring again.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use 14-day cream, ointment, tablet, or suppository vaginal treatment.
-Use two or three doses of fluconazole (Diflucan)
-Use llong-term prescription of fluconazole (Diflucan) taken once a week for six weeks, or long-term use of a topical antifungal medication.
-Avoid using soap when cleaning the vaginal area-rinse with water only.
-If the genital area is swollen or painful, sitting in warm water
-Use pads instead of tampons while you are using nonprescription vaginal medicines. Tampons can absorb the medicine.
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
