Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Your description of the symptoms suggests that you are experiencing vaginitis. This may have begun subsequent to the use of the pads due either to some infection through the pads or due to poor ventilation and genital hygiene. To get complete relief, you need to have a speculum examination, get swabs from the cervix and vagina for culture and sensitivity and also urinalysis. Please maintain proper genital hygiene. Do not douche or use strong soap solutions in the genital area; you can use mild antiseptic solutions instead. Please do not worry, this is a common problem and treatable. Hope this helps.
