Itching in private parts
I have been having itchy and tender skin near cervix and vaginal area since few days. There is very little sticky discharge at times.
This started after sex. It has happened once before in last two months but was fine after few days. However, this time my husband also felt itching and whitish discharge and has been diagnosed with fungal infection. Has it originated from me as suggested by the doctor? Please advise.

It is difficult to say from whom has this infection arised.
It could be from you or your husband. Whichever is the case, both will need treatment till both are asymptomatic and cured of infection.
