General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is likely that this is a yeast infection.

This would cause the type of discharge that you are having.

It would be treated with topical vaginal anti fungals such as monistat, vagistat, canesten etc
Your local pharmacy should have one of these options available.

If there is no resolution then you may need to see your doctor for assessment and treatment.

I hope this helps
