Resolved question:
Hi,I had unprotected sex and i took emergency contraceptive. All seemed fine and then after 3 days, I started getting itching around vagina and inner labia. I scratched it and the itching got worst and it all got red and i saw some rashes on inner labia too. I was really worried as i can't share this with anyone. I read a lot about the yeast infection and also that it can happen because of contraceptives. I tried applying yogurt and it did relive the itching a lot but I still see rash or something that i can't explain what it is. The discharge is odorless and since i have started applying yogurt, i don't know the thin white watery discharge is yogurt residue or some discharge. I am too scared to go to a doctor and I want to know what i have is a yeast infection or STD. I really need help. Please help me how to cure this. Please

The symptom described by you is probably suggestive of a yeast infection. A fungus known as Candida albicans causes it. This is the most common type of vaginal infections. It usually presents with intense itching, red spots on the vagina and a thick curdy white discharge. The itching in your case may have reduced because you applied yogurt but the cause is unknown. I would suggest you to get culture and sensitivity of the discharge and you can start using anti fungal medication like Candid A cream which can applied to the vagina twice a day for a week. During this period, avoid sex and use a mild soap while taking shower and use loose clothing. If the condition doesn't improve, then you can consult your obg-gyn doctor.
