Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This is the most common bacterial vaginosis which is a non-serious infection of the vaginal wall. It happens due to overgrowth of bacterial flora in vagina. It is treated with metronidazole vaginaletes.
However, these symptoms and signs may be suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse. So, this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be a sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common.
In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse, and rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
