Itchy burning discharge

Hi,

About 5 years ago I was in a longterm monogamous relationship and my boyfriend was unaware that he had HSV2 which he passed to me. I have not ever had problems or outbreaks because I try to keep myself healthy, physically active, and clean.   The symptoms I am experiencing now are not the same as outbreak symptoms but just thougth I should add that in case it makes a difference.

A year ago I was experiencing symptoms of a slightly yellowish discharge that had a slight burning sensation at the whole opening of my vagina.  I went to a clinic and got tested for STD's and such.  The doc went to the microscope upon hearing of my symptoms and came back to tell me that she didnt' find anything wrong.  (I did shower right before going and washed the area well for fear of an uncleanly odor) I never got a call back for any positive STD results but the symptoms were still there and would come and go. I started dating a guy for the last year now (started becoming sexually involved after my test results from the gyno).  Sex is always painful and burns around the opening of the vagina (at the first inch near the opening, not deep inside) every time we would start to have sex and would turn into a dull burning once it got going, most often I would bleed some when it was done.  I am still experiencing these symptoms a year later, the itchy, burning, slightly yellow discharge but sometimes white, as well as the pain durning sex . I also notice on some days of the month that I smell unclean (not a fishy or yeast odor) just unclean just a couple hours after a shower.  Is this a bacterial infection?  What's wrong with me?  And did the last doctor do a bad job of testing me?  Thanks a lot!

I have the same thing happening to me. One night my fiance and i were having sex and he got a little rough. He pushed into my vagina before i really got very loose and it felt good at the time but the next couple days after that it hurt to have sex. A little while after that I started getting really itchy and now it's swollen and itchy and burning. I have a little bit of yellowish discharge and it hurts for me to have sex. The thing is, though, that the area that it hurts is the whole surface of my vagina, about an inch into my vagina, clit, and lips, plus the anal area. It even hurts to go to the bathroom because it stretches the skin and after i always have to wet the toilet paper and wipe with that, just so it's not so dry and painful. I've looked at it and had my fiance look at it and he says the anal area is really pink and a little bumpy and my vagina has normal color, just a little swollen. I am really sorry that your problem isn't going away. If I had to live with this for a year I would cry. I really hope you are able to get something done about this. If you do find out what is wrong would you please email me and let me know what it was so that I can get myself check for it? My email is kylie_renea***@****. If anyone else knows what is going on or has any suggestions for me could you please email me too? Thanks in advance and I hope you are feeling better.

I am experiancing a very similar thing, for about 5 days now. I used some OTC yeast meds and it has helped some. I have some meds from one of the last bacterial infections I have had. I just started those last night. Odor is still there which is weird. Should have gone by now I would think. Still a little itchy too. I too have HSV. I dont think this has anything to do with it. I have had bacterial infection and yeast infection before. I would go see the Dr. and get checked for a bacterial infection. This one I am experiancing now seems like a combo of both. Sometimes if things are left untreated the meds take a little longer to work. Im gonna wait till next week. If symptoms are still there Im goin to see a Dr. Good luck and let me know what you find out.
