I have been experiencing discharge and discomfort for about a week. I had a UTI and was given antibiotics, but now I have a creamy discharge with slight burning and soreness, no odor, and my vaginal area looks irritated.

What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a persistent fishy smell for about a month and a half, but I don't experience itching or burning when I pee. I'm not using any medications, I'm 18 years old, and I tested positive for herpes but haven't had a breakout in a couple of months. I've had other STDs as well but have been treated. What could be causing the smell, and how can I prevent it from recurring?

I got my period twice this month. My last period was 15 days ago. This irregularity is new to me. I have fibroids and have had an IUD for five years, which is for seven years. My cycles are usually regular, and I have mild cramping but no nausea, fever, heavy bleeding, or blood clots. I have not taken any medications or treatments for this issue, and it is the first time it has happened. Should I be concerned about cervical cancer?
