Hi,

The symptoms are suggestive a condition called “cervicitis”. It is nothing but an inflammation of cervix. You can ask her to consult a gynecologist and get a culture and sensitivity of the discharge. If there is no discharge, a swab has to be taken.

Most probably it might be a fungal infection, antibiotics has to be started om the culture reports. As of now she can use Clotrimazole lotion to cleanse her genitals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
