	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Thu 02, Sep 2010 01:56pm: Hi, This is most probably a vaginal infection. Vaginal infection can be due to bacteria, yeast or trichomonas infection. You can get a vaginal smear test done to know the cause. Yeast vaginitis can be treated with over-the-counter anti-yeast cream or suppository. If the vaginitis is caused by bacteria, an antibiotic would be needed. If it is due to trichomonas you have to take metronidazole under the supervision of doctor. Both partners have to be treated. You should avoid tight clothes. It would be best to see your OBG specialist. Take care. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
