Discharge : Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Many possibilities : Several organisms can cause vaginal infections. Some are sexually transmitted. Chemical irritants such as soaps and latex can cause symptoms that can mimic a vaginal infection. You could consider having a check up to be sure about what's causing your symptoms.
