Is vaginal discharge always an infection?

No. Some discharge is normal and varies through the menstrual cycle. A change in colour, amount, consistency or smell — especially with itching, burning or pain — deserves medical evaluation.

Should I use over-the-counter remedies first?

Self-treatment without a diagnosis often treats the wrong cause and delays recovery. A short evaluation identifies the exact cause so the right treatment works the first time.

Vaginal Discharge Treatment in Delhi

A change in vaginal discharge — in colour, amount, consistency or smell — is one of the most common sexual-health concerns. Most causes are easily diagnosed and treated once the exact cause is identified.

Common causes

Abnormal discharge may be caused by vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis or candidiasis, or by sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis, chlamydia or gonorrhea. Each has a different treatment — which is why proper evaluation matters more than guesswork.

How it is evaluated

Assessment includes your symptoms and history, examination where appropriate, and simple swab-based tests to identify the cause. Testing is discreet and chosen based on your specific situation.

Treatment

Treatment is cause-specific and guideline-based — most causes clear with a short course of the right medication. Where an STI is involved, partner assessment and follow-up are discussed.
