Treatment
- Vaginal discharge and itching could be due to bacterial or fungal infection which are common conditions in women and occur due to excessive growth of bacteria that are naturally present in the vagina or due to contamination with bacteria from the urinary tract or from the anus, which makes the vagina less acidic than normal and therefore harmful bacteria can grow result in vaginal secretions, also the use of detergents and vaginal washes frequently increases the risk of infection because it changes the balance of bacteria in the vagina. the treatment should start with maintaining the dryness of the vagina and avoiding using excessive detergents, vaginal washes, or vaginal perfumes, and you should change pads constantly, wearing cotton clothes, and wiping from front to back , use antibiotics in case the cause is bacteria or trichomoniasis, such as Flagyl 500 mg three times a day for five days and clindamycin cream twice a day on the vagina, and if the cause is a fungal infection, Fluconazole 150mg is used once, and boric acid could be beneficial as vaginal suppositories, and to decrease vaginal itching, you can use betamethasone cream three times per day
