sore red vigina with thick white discharge

If your discharge is thick and white and itchy it may be thrush, so you could try an anti-thrush cream or tablet from a pharmacist. If your discharge has a different colour and/or is foul-smelling, you should go to a genito-urinary medicine clinic for a check-up. These clinics can do on-the-spot tests for most of the causes of vaginal discharge, and you can attend without a referral from your GP.Even if you are fairly sure it is thrush, don't persist with an anti-thrush cream from the pharmacist if it doesn't resolve the problem in a day or two, or if the discharge returns. See your doctor .
