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 noticed a vaginal pimple on my left vaginal lip 3 days ago. It’s a skin-colored bump that looks like a pimple. I also have thick, clumpy, chunky vaginal discharge with occasional liquid discharge, itching, and a strong odor. I recently had protected sex. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to resolve them?

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?

Can you prescribe medication for a persistent yeast infection with constant discolored discharge, recurring symptoms, and a history of bacterial vaginosis, despite trying Flucanazole? The patient is 25 years old, hypoallergenic, and has an IUD.

I haven't had a period in 2 months and I took a pregnancy test which was negative. Is there another reason besides stress for this irregularity? I am 21 years old, use condoms, and my last period was from April 13-18. I have gained weight recently and have experienced nausea but no pain or cramps in the lower abdomen.
