What kind?: Not all vaginal infection is sexually transmitted. Some like Bacteria Vaginosis occur because the normal bacteria in the vagina has been wiped out. what you are being treated for depends on what you have but if it is this, stop douching if you do,wash with mild soap and water, wear cotton panties, Use Rephresh over the counter
