Hi, this is Seyeda. I am 6 months pregnant. I am experiencing white discharge with a foul odour from the vagina during intercourse. I had a similar problem before pregnancy, and my gynecologist had prescribed medication that resolved it. My question is, why is this problem recurring now, and is it likely to happen again in the future? Please advise.

White discharge with odour may indicate a vaginal infection. Recurrence is common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Follow up with your gynecologist for treatment. Antibacterial treatment will be given by doctor suitably.

Sir, I drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, but I pass only about 700 to 800 ml of urine per day. A few days ago, I had a kidney infection, but now my reports are normal. Both urine routine and culture tests are normal. What could be the reason?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

What can be the possible reason for sharp pain in the lower abdomen near the vagina. My urine report indicated a urine infection but the pain is not going. I have been taking Ciplox TZ for three days but there is no relief?

I am having a burning sensation on my penis, which is very uncomfortable sometimes. I have never masturbated even once. Can not masturbating cause problems like this? My urine test report shows no infection.
