This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have my periods but not as usual. It was very less than expected and lasted for a week. After that, I am facing white discharge and itching. Is this due to significant periods? Also once I was advised to use Sertacream for the same. Can the cream be used directly? The itching is very high, and I have uneasiness. Please guide me with the solution.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The presence of thick curdy white discharge with itching and often foul smell is indicative of a fungal and bacterial infection together called mixed vaginosis. This is usually caused by women who are sexually active and contract it while intercourse and also seen in women who use chemical based soaps to wash their genitals during bathing or while using toilets. This can be treated with an antifungal,antibiotic vaginal pessary to be kept intravaginally for seven nights and also an oral course of antibiotics for seven days to cover element of pelvic inflammatory disease as well.
