Doctor's answer:

Hello:
According to the situation you described, you should have a vaginal infection. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up and get a definitive diagnosis. Once confirmed, you should take medication under medical supervision to ensure a complete cure. Otherwise, it may develop into a chronic condition.
Do not self-medicate, as it may delay the treatment and easily lead to drug resistance. Generally, it will not affect fertility, but you should not take it lightly. It's better to treat it early and fully to avoid complications.
