Why do I have vaginal pain and discharge?

Patient's Query

i tried to make an appointment with my gyno, but they were all full. Just to clarify english is not my first language so i can't describe everything the best. I'm over here dying of pain, I'm drinking pain meds just so i can function somewhat normal. I'm an 18 year old girl that's been sexually active for around 2 years or so with one partner and this is the first time that this happened. I can say that the pain started a few weeks ago while having intercourse and i felt a pain in my vagina during certain poses( missionary) but as soon as we switched that stopped so i ignored it. We just avoided it and everything was fine, until it started to burn while peeing. After that we had one intercourse during which everything was okay but the intense pain started later and it calmed down in a few mins. Day after that i woke up in the middle of a night because of the pain. Everything felt sore, was burning and itching. Especially around the opening (don't know what else to call it) and i couldn't touch that part, there even was a bump on it . Curiosity got the best of me so i looked with a mirror and i kinda stretched my vagina so i can se inside of it and everything inside was covered in white small chunks (size of rice) and they were really sticky. Also, it smelled funky, but not like fish and there were practically no discharge. Since it was the weekend i couldn't do anything because no one is working. It hurts to stand,sit, walk, litterally anything. I was barely moving. That lasted until yesterday, when i woke up i went to pee and i found a big piece of something on my underwear and it was yellowish green colour. I touched it and the only thing that came to my mind that it was like a piece of toilet paper or something like that . After that the pain reduced, it hurts sometimes and while peeing. I looked with the mirror again and there's no more white chunks and nothing hurts when i touch, also the bump is gone. Is it possible that somehow a piece of paper got inside of me while having intercourse, that he pushed it in with his penis? That it got stuck and came out by itself? If not, please tell me what to do, or how to ease the pain. Btw, gyno isn't working till monday????

Based on what you said, it sounds like you may have experienced a vaginal infection. Pain, burning, itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort during sex are some typical symptoms. These infections can be caused by things such as bacteria or yeast. To help with the pain, you could sit in a warm bath or use a cold compress. It's important to go to a gynecologist as soon as possible.

Hi Doc, good evening. Please am a student and in a relationship I don't want to get pregnant now, I have been taking contraceptives and I want to stop. Please I need a solution I want to settle down in 2years time

When stopping contraceptives, your body might take time adjusting before pregnancy's possible. Irregular periods are normal for a bit. If avoiding pregnancy's desired, consider alternative birth control like condoms.

Also i got light broen discharge three weeks after my period or two weeks after and i had it for three days . Could it be mabe because i drank five birth control pills in one day and two plan bs in two days ? what help can you give me

Female | 16

variations in period flow and color are normal, and the dark brown blood you experienced could be older blood being discharged. Taking multiple birth control pills and emergency contraceptives can also affect your cycle. Since it's been two weeks since your period and the pregnancy test was negative, it's unlikely you're pregnant. Stress can symptoms like nausea, so try to relax and trust the test results. The light brown discharge you later experienced could be a result of hormonal changes from the medications you took. If you continue to feel unwell or anxious, seek guidance from a gynecologist.

Your case could be a combination of irregular periods, PCOD, and chocolate cysts. These hormonal imbalance-related conditions that result in menstrual disorders. You may be experiencing the lower abdomen pain due to these conditions. To solve the above issues, it is better to go to a gynecologist who will make a treatment plan.

I just had little spotting after taking misoprostol drugs yesterday and today no bleeding why??

Female | 22

You may see some spotting after you take misoprostol. This is common and normal. The drug can cause light bleeding. Do not worry if you do not see more bleeding after the spotting. The medicine may have already done its job. If you are not sure, it is best to speak with a gynecologist.

There can be many reasons for this. Your hormones might be off balance. Stress can cause it too. Some medical issues can make this happen as well. Pay attention if you feel tired or have bad pain.

i had sex 14 day at first periods and after three days again got periods what does it eman

Female | 23

Engaging in sexual intercourse during your period only to experience another cycle a few days later is not strange. This could be a result of a short menstrual span or hormonal imbalance. You should seek medical attention from a gynecologist. Further assessment and treatment may be necessary if the hormones are not balanced or other underlying problems.

I had a friend, After abortion 16th July, she saw her period 17th July, when will be her next period

Female | 21

After your friend had her first period on July 17th, which was a month after the abortion that occurred on July 16th, her next period is most likely to come around 4-6 weeks later. Being moody, having a bloated stomach, and breast tenderness are some common symptoms before a period. If she notices that her period is late or has any peculiar symptoms, it would be wise to consult a gynecologist for more guidance.

I am pregnant in 7 weeks. Is it fine to use cold cap to treat strong flue when I am pregnant?

Female | 33

It would be medically incorrect to give a cold cap treatment when having a strong flu during pregnancy. As a rule, one should always get a recommendation from the obstetrician or gynecologist prior to starting taking any medicines or applying any treatments.

"Hi, l'm seeking some clarity about my health. Last month, I experienced vaginal soreness and white discharge, and I visited a clinic. The doctor examined me, saw the discharge, and assumed it was an STI without running any tests. She prescribed me some pills, but a month later, the symptoms returned. I went for testing this time, and surprisingly, my results came back negative for STls. I'm confused and worried about what might be causing my symptoms. Could it be a different infection, a reaction to the pills, or something else entirely? I'd appreciate your help in figuring out what's going on and finding a solution."

Female | 20

Vaginal soreness and white discharge can be due to various reasons other than STls. Nonetheless, great that you had a test, and one that was negative it is likely that you got another vaccine - like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. These can provide the same symptoms but the treatment is different. Consult a gynecologist for more tests and correct medication.

Missed period..urine pregnancy test is negative..my periods are regular..8 have hunger issues..nausea and lowe back pain..missed period by 5 days.

Female | 44

It's understandable to feel concerned about a missed cycle, especially with symptoms like nausea and back discomfort. Stress, changes in diet, or hormonal fluctuations can contribute to irregularities, even in individuals with typically regular cycles. A negative test result indicates that pregnancy is unlikely, but these symptoms may suggest other underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances or digestive changes. I recommend keeping track of your symptoms and considering lifestyle adjustments. If your period doesn't return soon or symptoms persist, don't hesitate to contact a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I took 3 pills of levonorgestrel each time after doing unprotected sex cause I did it in 3 following days and it was doing same menstrual cycle will i still get pregnant

Female | 20

Taking multiple doses of levonorgestrel can lead to side effects such as nausea, fatigue, headaches, and changes in your menstrual cycle. While this emergency contraceptive can reduce the risk of pregnancy when taken promptly, no method is 100% effective. Track any symptoms and your upcoming period, as irregularities may occur. If your cycle is significantly delayed or if you have concerns about pregnancy, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and follow-up care.

Being a few days late with your period could mean pregnancy if unprotected sex occurred. Fatigue, nausea, sore breasts may be early signs. Take a home pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy. Consult a gynecologist for guidance regarding a potential pregnancy.

I recently had sex with my new bf He used to have multiple partners V didn’t use any contraceptives And that was my first time it was very hard for me Now after 7 days i have severe abdominal pain And very heavy watery discharge and little white discharge I used to have fever for the past 3 days in evenings n joint pain too Now i dont But the abdominal pain n discharge is still there n is very bad I started on doxy n metro n clindac yesterday as said by my gyn What is the problem?? Is it serious

Female | 22

The strong lower abdominal pain, large watery discharge and also the white discharge can suggest an infection. These symptoms coupled with the fever and joint aches could be an indication of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It’s great that you’ve started on antibiotics as per your gynecologist’s prescription. Ensure that you finish all the antibiotics prescribed and then see your doctor for more tests and treatment.

After having one time sex on the 5th day of period with the help of precaution (condom) taken if suddenly came to know that it got teared after removing out is there any chance of pregnancy ???

Male | 29

It's normal to be concerned about this matter. Fertilization can take place if the condom gets a hole in it during sex. Pregnancy detection may be through lack of period, morning sickness, and tender breasts. For the test, it is better to take a positive line. Preferably, on confirmation of pregnancy, meet a gynecologist to get the necessary information.

Female | 18

Taking an unwanted 72 within 8 to 10 hours after unprotected intercourse can reduce the risk of pregnancy, but it is not 100% effective. Talk to a doctor for professional advice and discuss other contraceptive options for the future.
