This has been going on since Sunday night, is it ok to wait until tomorrow and what can I take to help in the meantime. Thank you for your help!

Question

I have itching in my vulva and very thick colored secretions. I'm waiting to hear back for an emergency appointment tomorrow, but I would like to have something to relieve me temporarily. Thank you!

Hello, It will indeed be necessary to consult a clinic within a short period of time, but not in the hospital emergency room. I do not recommend douching because it is irritating. It is not advisable to use vaginal creams or ointments before consulting the doctor or nurse For the moment, unfortunately, the only option would be to apply cold water compresses to the vulva, without rubbing, to reduce the symptoms a little while waiting for the consultation. Were you able to see a doctor?
