For over two weeks now I have had a very increased white discharge that has a pungent smell(that doesnt seem yellow or clumpy enough to go along with the symptoms of a yeast infection). I tried applying yoghurt, tea tree oil, and garlic (as websites online suggest treating a yeast infection) and have been eating yoghurt every day, and on most days, twice or three times a day. All to no avail.
It may be irrelevant, but I have noticed that the discharge only seems to be when I am on the pill. For, before my period started and on the 'off cycle' when I wasn't bleeding (period), there seemed to be no discharge. And on days when I forget my pill and take it in the afternoon, I seem to have no discharge from that morning.
However, recently I have been noticing blood on my toilet paper. So, curiosity today made me see if I was still on my period, which I shouldn't be as I resumed my cycle on the pill almost an entire week ago.
I noticed that this blood is coming from the pink inner skins of my labias - what I think are called my labias, and this area is very sensitive. The toilet paper had more blood with each time I touched it to this pink, sensitive area. So I tried to further investigate and found that there were fine hair line cracks of blood where it would 'wrinkle' to fold back into 'normal position'. Now, these hair line cracks are thicker. The blood is not 'fresh' looking (more like open wounds) as it was before but it still hurts.
After reading on the internet I would think that perhaps I had 'vulvitis'. I dont want to go to the doctor. Please help. Thank you so m
