I have burning sensation and watery discharge from my vagina. What could be the cause?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the details and the reports presented by you (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

You have already taken the medicines needed. Please tell me if you still have the problem then we can decide on the medication based upon the way the pregnancy progresses.

Feel free to reach back with more details.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the update. You already had medicines earlier so maybe the treatment was already done by the time you took the test.

Do you have any signs of BV (bacterial vaginosis) now?

I suggest taking iron, calcium supplements and also include green leafy vegetables in your diet.

Please share your level 2 ultrasound scan.

I suggest you not to take any medicines now unless some signs are there for BV.

Please share additional details and feel free to ask questions if any.

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the details and done some research on the problem presented by you.

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the details as we discussed.

The comment is the absence of lactobacillus and it is maybe aerobic vaginitis and may also be due to multiple other factors like post douching of the vagina as well. So what I mean to say is that aerobic vaginitis is one of the many possibilities which may be causing the absence of lactobacillus thus affecting the pH of the vagina.

Molecular interpretation says "results do not favour BV."

However, you have said that you have been experiencing a burning sensation on and off and watery discharge. The good thing is anatomy scan is fine.

Can you please tell me how was the lactobacillus present in any of your previous reports?

How do you wash your vagina? My recommendation is to use a very gentle feminine wash if using ordinary soap or shampoo gels.

Please include probiotics in your diet or take it as supplements.

Further, if there is an increase in burning or discomfort I would suggest Clindamycin but please consult your treating doctor because being an online consultant, I cannot see and physically examine you.

But nevertheless, you are 27 weeks weeks pregnant. And I am sure that you will be fine.

Do not worry you are fine.

Please feel free to ask more questions.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I now understand that you are so much into stress because of your previous experience.

I hope your daughter is fine now.

Further, I have gone through the reports shared by you, and I do not feel that you need to take so much stress.

Also, you carry the pregnancy ultimately that is upto 40 weeks, and thats a good thing as many females these days, due to various reasons, end up having preterm deliveries.

So do not worry, you are fine.

Do not rub with tissue for so long as you have said, and continue with probiotics.

Although Clindamycin is also prescribed during pregnancy, if your primary doctor is not in favor, do not take it to heart as she may have specific other reasons that she would have arrived upon based upon her experience.

After having seen your reports, I am confident that you need not get stressed and you can stay calm.

Continue with routine activities, and you will be delivering a healthy baby.

Thanks and regards.
