Vaginal infection
I was diagnosed by severe Vaginal RBs infection last year( I don't know what it is). Symptoms included itchy,irritating vagina with white cotton like substance on the vaginal wall. Recently I experienced almost similar symptoms but not as worst as last time. I used the meds prescribed as earlier and I'm fine now.
My mom asked me to consult a doctor as she thinks that it may affect my fertility in future. I want to know if her fear is right or she is being paranoid.?
(PS: I have history of PCOD but my periods are regular right now)
