My vagina has been like this for a while. It is red, irritated, itchy, and my discharge is white, slightly chunky and has a slight smell but I'm not sure if its a normal smell or not. kinda cheesy but its not strong. There is one thing i can resort to before going to the doctor: I took antibiotics for a while for strep throat but got surgery in June 2019 to remove my tonsils, so i stopped taking antibiotics in may.

sex is very uncomfortable. it has caused vaginal dryness and, since its irritated, it won't relax. Please help me lolimage

    looks like a yeast infection but it could be BV instead since youve been on meds. Antibobics are killers

      Looks like yeast infection. Can cause all the things you described. Monistat cream which is sold over the counter takes care of yeast infections if thats what it is. You can get a 1 day 3 or 7 day course of treatment. 3 or 7 day course probably best. Can be found in the feminine care aisle in most big stores or drug stores. Good luck
