Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to bacterial vaginosis. I suggest using a cycle of antibiotics.
Treatment is highly recommended to avoid any chance of preterm labor.
There are various treatments which include oral medications such as Clindamycin or Metronidazole twice daily for 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
