Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for trusting us with your health care.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms are suggestive of vaginitis, and it is mainly due to a fungal infection. Keep the area dry and clean, drink a lot of warm water and take a soft diet, and use antifungal medicine and cream for application. Wear cotton undergarments, eat more curd and take less sugar. Do not wash your vagina frequently with water. Check your blood sugar.

I hope this helps.

Regards.
