Hallow Dear, You seem to have vaginal infection which could be bacterial, fungal or trichomonal. These infections lead to vaginal itching and pain with discharge. Since during pregnancy the immunological response is poor, these infections are commonly observed. If you are having curry discharge, it could be fungal infection. Trichomonal vaginal discharge is frothy greenish white while the bacterial discharge is mucoid or yellowish pus. Fungal infections can be treated with antifungal vaginal pessaries, Metronidazole can take care of trichomonal infection while for bacterial infections, antibiotics are needed. Both the partners should have the treatment simultaneously. Please report to your Obstetrician for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. During the treatment, please observe the following instructions
