Accepted Answer

: If you do not think you leak urine (underwear gets wet) then you may have symptoms of vaginitis although you have not had sexual contact. You can try warm sitz bath with baking soda (1 tablespoon of baking soda in 2 liters of warm water) 10-15 minutes, two - three times/day for a day or two until the symptoms resolve. See a doctor if symptoms do not improve.
