Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the report. (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Fissures are due to continue scratching over the itching part so avoid scratching. Report says you have a vaginal infection with candidiasis (fungal infection). And E.coli growth found which is normally not found in the vagina. Sensitivity report says that all the medicines with “S” are sensitive or effective against these organisms. So basically you can take Candid v6 like vaginal pessaries. Along with that Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) antibiotics two times a day for five days and Metronidazole 400 mg two times a day for seven days. Do drink more water so that urine should be clear. Keep the vaginal area as dry as possible. Change pads more frequent during menstruation. Eat healthy and less oily and less spicy food. All these precautions to avoid recurrence. Do not scratch as it will increase the problem. If you are not following the proper precautions these infections are bound to reoccur. So be alert. Also, do clean the area with water after sex and do urinate immediately.
