I have a vaginal discharge and irritation that is not improving with over-the-counter medication. What should I do?

There are many causes for these symptoms such as infections with viruses, Trichomonas, bacteria, yeast, and so on. The only way to find out what is causing the problem is to have an examination with a microscopic evaluation of the discharge. Over-the-counter medication may be used for certain conditions, but if the symptoms do not improve, an exam will be necessary.
