My problems are greenish discharge unpleasant smell but not fishy however I also have extreme pain during sex and unlike normal discharge mine no longer has any stretchiness to it its just watery but also creamy at the same time i have had these symptoms for a year and half been to doctor multiple times Got tested for every std bv yeast etc all came back negative Got put on the pill for 'hormone imbalance' even though they didnt take my bloods pill made it far far worse Stopped taking it When they did take my bloods all came back negative

Ive been examined by gyn said nothing was wrong did ultrasound the lot No doctors will listen say the pain during sex is in my head tell me dont wear thongs and change laundry detergent it is the most frustrating thing I get so upset about it and now I try and forget and just wear panty liners everyday Im scared to go into a new relationship Ive only had one other partner and they have only been with me so stds are out the window

It used to be so much worse about a year ago when I was sexually active Id be so itchy all the time extreme discomfort Red and painful skin around outside also tmi but i used to experience peeling of skin on skin under lips doctor said it was discharge it was nit discharge i could see my skin peeling and cracking bleeding it was so sore thankfully that doesnt happen anymore

Been treated multiple times for thrush I was given balance activ ph balancing gels but that was at the time of the skin cracking and peeling so felt like pouring acid into slices on your skin Had the antibiotic for general stds cant remember name but it brought back clear stretchy discharge then the antibiotics gave me thrush when trush cleared up the old symptoms were back doctor wont give me anymore of that

I did start taking Nuvaring and i think that got rid of itching and horrible exterior problems

Im still left with this weird discharge and pain during sex ( its like a burning stingy sensation usually around the opening ) cant even wear tampons or use a menstrual cup anymore They said they would put me on gyn waiting list cause i went private first time been on it a few months and heard nothing it is so disheartening having no one relate to you or believe you

If anyone has any advice or clues on what to do please tell me

    That sure sounds like BV. I had it without the odor or colored discharge but tested positive for it. Mine all stemmed from dryness and vaginal atrophy. I finally got it under control with a vaginal estrogen. Don't give up until you get an answer! In the meantime try using some coconut oil, it's a natural antibacterial and a great moisturizer.
