General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problem you are having could be due to bacterial infection of the vagina. Kindly take a course of oral antibiotics namely Metronidazole. Continue to keep genitals under good hygiene. You can use vaginal pH balancing solution like v wash. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Gradually, you should be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
