Hello. I am 23 years old female. I have experienced huge vaginal discharge. It is thick without odour nor itches. I have used several ovules like nystatin and gynanforte to no avail. I have equally taken doxycycline. I feel very frustrated now.

Hi, you need to get a vaginal swab for culture and sensitivity. Use v -wash, a hygiene wash daily twice. After culture report you can use medications. Meanwhile abstain from sex.
