Vaginal and Uterus Health Answer A6067

According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing bacterial vaginosis. It is a condition in which certain bacteria cause inflammation. One of the symptoms of the inflammation is discharge. You might want to visit your gynecologist for vaginal pelvic exam and swab with antibiogram that will determine the exact bacteria and antibiotic needed for its treatment.
