Summarize the following:
Do this especially if you're unsure whether your vaginal discharge is normal or abnormal. Discomfort with abnormal discharge may indicate a vaginal infection. Call your doctor if you experience: Pain or burning while urinating Vaginal itching or swelling Sores or rashes in your vaginal area Pain during sexual intercourse Pelvic pain not related to your period or premenstrual syndrome (PMS) Request a pelvic exam. This is especially important if the discharge is accompanied by other symptoms, which may indicate a serious infection that requires medical treatment. The doctor will ask you a series of questions related to your symptoms. They'll then conduct a pelvic exam, where they'll examine your vagina and check for swelling, redness, irritation and the nature of the discharge. The doctor may also collect a sample of the discharge for testing. Follow the daily dosage. Set a reminder on your phone if you need to take your medication throughout the day. If your doctor tells you to take your meds for two weeks, take them for two weeks. Don't think you're cured if your discharge returns to normal or the odor goes away before the two weeks is up.
Look for additional symptoms. Make an appointment with your doctor. Take all medicine as prescribed.
