Vaginal Infection
I had a burning sensation in my vagina a week before. Also, there's an increased amount of vaginal discharge and I have missed my periods. As my gynaecologist advised, I used a coconut oil down there and the irritation, itchiness and the pain stopped. But my periods haven't come yet also the the amount of vaginal discharge is still the same. I even took the pregnancy test twice but it was negative. I had an appointment on Practo with a gynaecologist too, but she didn't seem to be that professional and considered it a symptom of thyroid. I want some advice. Also, I do not have any medical history regarding this.
