I just got my period again, about 10 days after my last cycle. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, I am 19 years old, and I have no significant medical history. This is the first time I've experienced this. I started bleeding lightly yesterday afternoon, which has become heavier today. I don't have any unusual symptoms like genital redness/sores/bumps, urinary symptoms, unusual odor, or unusual cramps. I am sexually active with multiple partners in the past few months. My last pregnancy test was negative, and my last STD screening in July was also negative. How can this be explained, and what should I do next?

I suspect I have vaginal herpes. I'm experiencing a lot of pain and itching between my vagina and anus. I have no health insurance and want to know if there's anything over the counter I can use to ease the symptoms.

I had sexual intercourse on Saturday and have been bleeding since then. I'm on birth control (Nexplanon) and my periods are irregular. The discharge looks like period blood but smells abnormal and is causing vaginal itching. What could be the cause and what should I do?
