Why am I experiencing yellowish, thick vaginal discharge?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yellowish, thick, cheesy-like vaginal discharge with itching and foul smell is most likely diagnosed as a fungal infection due to Candida fungus. Treatment for this condition is mainly antifungal vaginal cream, such as Clotrimazole 1% at bedtime for seven days once daily, and an oral antifungal medicine, Fluconazole 150 mg (milligrams), as a single dose only. Take Metronidazole 400 mg (milligrams) twice daily for seven days.

Precautions for using the vaginal cream are as follows:

• Wash your hands thoroughly.

• Wash the genital area gently with water, then pat dry.

• The cream comes with a plastic applicator.

• Attach the applicator to the tube, squeeze the tube to fill the applicator, usually up to the marked line, and then detach the applicator from the tube.

• Lie on your back with knees bent, or stand with one foot on a chair.

• Gently insert the applicator deep into the vagina. Press the plunger to release the cream. Remove the applicator slowly.

• Wash the applicator with warm, soapy water if it is reusable; some are disposable.

• Wash your hands again.

• It is best to apply it at bedtime so the medicine stays in place overnight.

• Avoid intercourse during treatment. If symptoms persist, notify me.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.
