I am experiencing sharp pains around my vagina, a foul fishy odor, and whitish/yellow discharge. The pain started early this morning and comes and goes. I am managing the pain with Tylenol and am currently on birth control. I am 34 years old and have no other significant medical history. I have sharp pains when I urinate but no fever, though I feel fatigued. I am sexually active with my husband.

I have vaginal itching and burning that started yesterday. There is no visible skin change, no known allergies, and no significant medical history. The discharge is white and thin, with no foul odor, redness, soreness, or swelling. I am 23 years old and sexually active. Should I be concerned about a yeast infection or an STD, and what steps should I take for relief?
