Swollen labia yellow discharge..what is it?

[katgee]

I have only had sex with one partner and always with a condom so i know i haven't caught anything from him but for the past few months i have noticed i have had a swollen labia and have yellow discharge.  it is very sore to touch and is itchy. i find it extremely difficult to wear inderwear because if it is touched it is very sore. what could this be?

Right, this is so strange! I have scowered the internet looking for what is wrong with me. My story is so similar to this, its creepy. Me and my bf of 8 months had sex using a condom, we have never been with other partners so its unlikely to be an std. And we had 'passionate make up sex' and it was a little rough, after sex my labia have swollen majorly, I haven't told anyone or done anything about it. It is angony to walk or sit in class and my discharge is slightly yellow.. I was so worried that something was desperatley wrong with me, but thanks. So I should go see a gynocologist yeah?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Itchy swollen labia and yellow vaginal discharge is seen in cervicits (inflammation of cervix). Vulvovaginitis (inflammation of vulva and vagina) and STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. Agreed condoms form a protective layer, but they may tear or form holes during sex making both partners vulnerable to STDs. Do consult your gynecologist and get a complete STD panel done.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
