Hi, I’m 21 years old, A week and 2 days ago I had intercourse with a new partner and was unprotected. The next day I noticed I was sore in my vaginal region, particularly at the base near my perineum. I’ve torn before, and I had recently shaved, so I assumed I had a friction tear from the encounter. Now a week later I have had painful red patches where it hurts to urinate, and I decided to examine myself, and found a few other red bumps. I had very thick white discharge and itching for a week, and I get frequent yeast infections. My vulva is sore and swollen and itchy, but the bumps/ sores are a new thing. I just started a new job and don’t have time this week to go get tested, I was just curious on opinions of what to think... thank you.
