I have been experiencing a vaginal odor for 2 weeks, which returned after taking antibiotics and having sex with my boyfriend. I have an IUD hormonal device and have had it for 3 years. My symptoms include a discharge that is between clear and light yellow, like egg whites, mild itching, and a slight fishy odor. There is no redness, soreness, or swelling. What could be causing this and what can I do to resolve it?

I just got a STD screening and Pap done, and my doctor said I have a yeast infection. I forgot to mention that I went to a river after having sex, which caused tears. Could I possibly have gotten something from the river? I am experiencing pain, burning, and white patches on my vulva that are extremely sensitive and painful. I was given fluconazole, nystatin topical, and nitrofurantoin mono-mcr on 6/21. I see improvement in the yeast infection but still have the patches and pain. Could this be related to the river water exposure or something else?

I am experiencing vaginal pain after peeing, which started on Monday. The pain is sharp and achey, and there is redness in the labia minora area with some swelling. I had sex for the first time on Monday, and the pain started after that. I took Tylenol for the pain and am 20 years old. I am also having my period and feel cramps, which are a little more painful than usual, along with burning after peeing followed by pain. What could be causing this and what should I do?
