i had two UTIs 2 months ago and then a month ago BV, which they gave me antibiotics for. After the BV i was still experiencing different discharge, more often and a slight smell but nothing awful. Recently i have had a new sexual partner who i use protection with, last time during sex the bottom of my vulva kind of hurt due to friction and i kind of stuck it out for longer than i should have because i believe it may have teared my skin a little. A few days later my vulva started to swell and i was getting a watery milky white discharge and pain on the vulva. i also got a fever with chills and body pain. I went to urgent care yesterday and they took swabs for STDs etc. but the results wont come back for a solid week. the doctor gave me medicine for a yeast infection in case it is that. The pain got worse today, does this look like herpes or anything? image

      Yes, i was prescribed that for BV, I am really hoping it is just a yeast infection and not herpes.

      ye iv experienced very similar to that after stopping the antibiotics there know for causing really bad yeast infection normally a doctor prescribes tablets for yeast such as fluconazole with the antibiotics for after uv taken them because its that common it may just be that or could be herpes alongside yeast but try not to worry until u get ur results

    hey! did you get any results from your lab tests because it looks really really similar to what i had and it's herpes. from what i see and what you described it fits the profile. i know it was really painful and i couldn't walk
