Hello doctor, I am super embarrassed but I have been having trouble with being positive about this situation. I have been having issues with my downstairs area about smells. To me it is very unpleasant and I am very uncomfortable.
Hi. How are you doing? Hope you and your dear ones are safe and healthy. For a young lady of your age, following are the possibilities and solutions:  1. If using antibiotics frequently, bacterial vaginosis. Caused by imbalance in healthy and unhealthy bacteria and vaginal flora. To correct this, avoid frequent antibiotics use, avoid vaginal douches. Use capsule Lactobacillus twice daily for 10 days.  2. If you have frequent respiratory tract infections. You may be transmitting the viruses and bacteria to your vagina, unknowingly. When you sneeze or cough into your palm,later when you wash your genital area after using the washroom, you will transfer respiratory infections to vaginal tract. To correct this issue,use a good course of antibiotics like Cap.Moxacillin+ Clavalunate 625 mg twice daily for 1 week. Also wash hands with soap before using washroom.  3. If you are diabetic. Check your blood sugar levels- fasting and post prandial. Only after correction, problem will be solved.  4. If you are sexually active, infection from partner could be the reason. Meet your doctor and both of you will need antibiotics course.  5. Use vaginal wash daily once, for 1-2 weeks. Twice daily during periods. This will improve your vaginal discharge problem.
