He or she will also take a sample of your vaginal discharge to look for an infection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        Treatment depends on the cause of the abnormal vaginal discharge. That\u2019s why a proper gynecological examination is advised before treatment.
        In certain types of infections, simultaneous treatment of both male and female partners is recommended. Sexually transmitted infections include chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and yeast. In bacterial vaginosis, the sexual partner does not need treatment. It is advisable to avoid having intercourse until the treatment is completed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
