Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Your symptoms could be caused by a mixed infection, a yeast infection like Candida, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It’s important to get checked by a healthcare professional, or you can use a self-test kit to help identify the cause. Based on the test results, treatment can be tailored to address the underlying issue. Additionally, if there's a family history of diabetes, it may be a good idea to get tested for that as well.

Thanks
