If you think you may have an infection, see your doctor or visit a specialized clinic. Vaginal infections are very common and there is absolutely nothing to be worried or embarrassed about. Most can be treated with antibiotics or anti-fungal remedies which your doctor can prescribe. Your doctor may decide to test the discharge first to help diagnose the exact infection.

Many vaginal infections can be passed back and forth between a couple-and sometimes only one of you will show symptoms even though you are both infectious. So it is important for both partners to be treated. If infections are not treated immediately, they may cause more serious problems later on-so it's best to deal with them at the first sign of symptoms.
