Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. Regarding your symptoms, may I ask if the sex was unprotected or protected?

I believe you have a possible vaginal infection caused by sexually transmitted bacteria. Kindly do a high vaginal and endo cervical swab test and reply to me with the result. I suggest you take the following: injection of Ceftriaxone (beta-lactam antibiotic) one gram start, then two tablets of Doxycycline (tetracycline antibiotic) 100 milligrams for two weeks (two times a day - oral), two tablets of Metronidazole (antibiotic) 400 milligrams for two weeks (three times a day - oral). Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him/her, and take the medicines with their consent.

If you have any more concerns or questions, please contact me by arranging an appointment or following up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
