Period miss , white discharge
I am experiencing white vaginal discharge, itching, and swelling inside my vagina. The vaginal opening also seems to have become smaller. My period was due three days ago, but it still hasn't started.
I was sexually active 10 days ago, and I am worried that these symptoms might be signs of pregnancy.
* Could these symptoms indicate pregnancy, or could they be caused by a vaginal infection?
* If it is an infection, can it be treated completely?
* How long does treatment usually take, and will the infection affect when my period arrives?
* What treatment or medication might be needed?
* Approximately how much would a doctor's consultation, necessary tests, and medicines cost

Take a home pregnancy test today, since that's the quickest way to check given your late period. The itching, swelling and white discharge are more typical of a vaginal yeast infection, which is very common and treatable. A missed period alongside a new infection can simply be stress or the infection itself affecting your cycle.
Next Steps
See a gynaecologist for an examination and a vaginal swab test, so the right antifungal or antibacterial treatment can be started. Infections like this usually clear in 1 to 2 weeks with proper treatment. A typical consultation plus tests and medicines in a metro city like Delhi runs roughly â¹1500 to â¹3000 as of 2026, though it varies by clinic.
Health Tips
Go to urgent care if you develop fever, pelvic pain or heavier bleeding at any point.
