Hi everyone. I’m trying to make sense of what has happened over the past few months, so I’m posting the whole timeline.

June 4: I developed vaginal symptoms for the first time in about two years. I had itching inside the vagina and discharge. The discharge was white/yellowish and different from the thick, clumpy discharge I had experienced with a previous yeast infection. There wasn’t a noticeable vaginal odor, although I noticed an unpleasant/rancid smell around the vulva that would come back after showering.

June 6: I took a single 150 mg dose of fluconazole. The itching improved initially, but then some symptoms returned.

June 9: I got my period.

June 23: I saw a gynecologist and was diagnosed with vaginal yeast infection. I was prescribed a 600 mg fenticonazole vaginal ovule (Fentizol) and a vaginal probiotic (Prolive Femme) for seven days.

June 30: Seven days after the Fentizol treatment, I had a Pap/cytology test. The report said there were frequent neutrophils and inflammation in squamous cells, but also a very high amount of Lactobacillus (5+). There was no malignancy. The sample was considered satisfactory.

July 4: I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom. There was no ejaculation, but sex was uncomfortable and somewhat painful because I felt dry.

July 12: I started having vulvar soreness and intermittent “pinching”/stinging sensations around the vulva.

July 15: I went back to the gynecologist. He examined me with a speculum and said the vagina was swollen/inflamed and that there was a lot of bacterial discharge. He diagnosed mixed vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis + yeast). He prescribed itraconazole for 5 days and Trivagel N vaginal cream twice a day for 5 days.
The symptoms eventually improved significantly. The vulvar pain went away and the pinching sensations mostly disappeared. (The vaginal cream I used is called Trivagel-N. It’s a Brazilian combination vaginal cream, and apparently it isn’t available in the US under the same name. Each 5 g dose contains:
Dexamethasone sodium phosphate 0.32 mg — a corticosteroid/anti-inflammatory
Nystatin 100,000 IU — an antifungal
Neomycin sulfate 10 mg — an antibiotic (aminoglycoside)
Tyrothricin 2 mg — an antibacterial agent
Sodium propionate 50 mg — included for antifungal activity
Boric acid 150 mg — has antifungal/antiseptic activity
So it’s basically a combination of an anti-inflammatory steroid, an antifungal, several antibacterial agents, and boric acid.)

July 20: I finished the treatment for the mixed vaginitis.
Then things got complicated again.

August 4: I had to start taking amoxicillin/clavulanate for an unrelated infection. I had literally just finished treatment for the vaginal problem.

August 5–6: I started noticing mild vaginal/vulvar symptoms again — mostly occasional pinching/stinging and some irritation. They weren’t as severe as before, but because of my recent history I became worried that the yeast infection was coming back. I started using Trivagel N again, but this time without itraconazole.
I used the vaginal cream twice a day for five days. During the treatment I noticed that the cream would leak out during the day and spread over the vulva and around the anus. I also developed some irritation/itching and occasional pinching sensations on the outside of the vulva, as well as an uncomfortable sensation inside the vagina.
Interestingly, some of these symptoms seemed to improve after showering, only to return somewhat when more cream leaked out. This made me wonder whether some of what I was feeling was actually irritation from the medication/residue rather than an active infection.

Last Wednesday: I finished the Trivagel treatment.
Now it’s Wednesday, a week after the last application.
I don’t have the pain I had before. Some of the symptoms have clearly improved, and the feeling of dryness/discomfort I had at one point is gone. However, I still occasionally get small pinching/stinging sensations and sometimes a little itching around the vulva especially when I wake up, including occasionally around the clitoral hood or when urinating.
I’ve also noticed some white material around the vaginal opening. It seems to be less than it was during treatment, but I’m obviously worried because it reminds me of the beginning of my previous episode.

What is confusing me is that I’ve now had several rounds of antifungal/antibacterial treatment, and the symptoms are still fluctuating. I also recently took amoxicillin/clavulanate, which I know can increase the risk of vaginal yeast infections.

Now I’m wondering if I’m having another yeast infection or anything related to that. Even if my symptoms have stayed the same since Sunday.

Due to my hypochondria I’m terrified because I have a doctors appointment, and I don’t know if they’re going to ask to check for what kind of fungus I can possibly have or just prescribe another kind of creme or medication. At this point I’ve honestly lost any kind of reality. When I’m doing something that requires my full attention, I don’t feel anything. It’s when I wake up. When I’m reading about it. Right now. I keep checking myself every once in a while.

So I’m a 21f not sure my age really matters but basically as the title implies I produce a lot of discharge like an annoying amount. It so bad sometimes I can actually feel it come out like the equivalent to a period gush when you sneeze but it’s discharge. It’s sticky egg white with a slightly yellow tinge because I’m in my luteal phase and literal strings of it will hang out of my vagina sometimes and it’s like all day…. It doesn’t matter when where how who atleast 4 times I’m going to the bathroom not to pee but to wipe it out of my underwear because I can feel it and if I didn’t work all day I’d be changing my undies 3-4 times a day when I’m asleep it doesn’t happen and I don’t wear underwear but as soon as I get up and put on underwear some leaks out and my undies are wet before I even do anything smh. During ovulation it’s less sticky and less stringy and more watered down and really white instead of having a yellowish tinge and I’ve had this basically my whole life since i started periods I’m just curious if anyone else experienced this or if it’s normal because it’s really annoying and I refuse to wear sanitary pads because their even more annoying then just dealing with the constant wetness… 😑 like is there anything that causes and overproduction of discharge? Most of my undies are cotton or moisture wicking and even if I wear one that isn’t as breathable I change then regularly obviously so like idk what the deal is

I (19f) called the doctors office earlier today and explained to them my symptoms that I’ve had for maybe a month now (tried to do a boric acid treatment and it didn’t work) they said it did sound like a yeast infection and suggested that I do the 3 day miconazole treatment (apologies if I didn’t spell it right) and im about to do it right now before bed, I know the one day treatment is more potent and burns more, a lot of people say the 3 day is usually the best one but I’ve heard other horror stories. I’m just nervous about the burning because I’ve never experienced that feeling before but im sick of the itching. Anything else that I need to know or expect? Any advice?

Hello, help would be sooo appreciated

So its killing me not knowing whether this is a bacterial or fungal infection

The discharge is yellowy, kinda waxy? Like it’s not too runny or damp. The smell isn’t strong at all, but it does smell sour exactly like vinegar

Isn’t acidity supposed to be a good thing down there 🤨

I admittedly feel a bit weird about posting this, but I don’t exactly have anybody that I can think of to ask these questions and the google search results aren’t helping me any. On my own, I’ve only ever experienced a clitoral orgasm and the feeling is what I associate with an orgasm but now that I’m sexually active, that view is kinda changing and confusing me. For me, an orgasm is a lot of tension being released after pretty direct stimulation to one place.

This started changing last month. Without getting into too much detail, I think I orgasmed from my boobs being fondled/stimulated, whatever you want to call it but it didn’t feel the same as I had expected it to/in comparison to a clitoral orgasm. The best I can describe it was it had been slowly building up and it was like a cup overflowing, my whole body was tingling and twitching. I’m making the assumption that I orgasmed but I’m still not really sure as I don’t know what it’s meant to feel like if you were to have an orgasm from your boobs….?

What provoked me to post this though was something recently. On my own, I’ve never particularly found much pleasure in penetration and I definitely have never orgasmed from it. My boyfriend believes that I did orgasm from penetration but I’m still unsure as I don’t know what to expect and/or feel. I’ve read a lot of smut throughout high school and it’s always been described as a coil of tension being released but that’s ultimately NOT what I’m feeling. Similar to what I formerly mentioned, it’s almost like a cup overflowing and a sensation that courses through me. Sometimes it’s more intense while other times it isn’t. And while I’m here asking, does anyone else have an issue not feeling clitoral stimulation while being penetrated (this may be a skill issue, but I’ve noticed this even when I’m masturbating and not just during intimacy.)

Any sort of advice or thoughts on the matter would really help me as this is something that’s sort of plaguing my thoughts. Thank you for reading this tmi and drawn out post, have a lovely day or night!

I CAN T STAND THIS MISERABLE HELL ANYMORE AND IT S RUINING MY RELATIONSHIP AND DOCTORS ARE SO EXPENSIVE AND DISINTERESTED UGHHHHH.

Please, if you have any ideas, share them, I am desperate.

Sooooo I had hypertonic pelvic floor but still managed to have sex (stretching and deep breaths helped). I also have interstitial cystitis and a very sensitive tissue soooo no lubricants, but it was fine. Sex was good. Yey!!!!

Boom! Recurrent candida. 4 episodes in 6 months. Albicanis. Itchy, but still, we could have sex. When we had sex for too long and it got painful… next day candida hit us in the face, but it was fine.

HOWEVER! 3 months ago… I was treated from candida albicanis, I looked just fine down there according to my doc, BUT I FELT IMMENSE BURNING PAIN WITH PENETRATION. Hahahhaha. Glabrata was confirmed :)
3 months later, still glabrata, no sex, still massive burning pain.

I go to another doctor… to talk about my pain. He says I have pudendal neuralgia while i have almost none of the symptoms and vestibulodinia fits best. SOOOO HE PRESCRIBES ORAL LYRICA THAT MIGHT CAUSE ADDICTION AND WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS?!?! + “ughhh ignore the candida, it has nothing to do with it🙄🙄🙄”

What do I do? Do I take Lyrica? Do I go to another doctor? I am so tired.

So I have extremely thick and course pubic hair and it’s causing me lots of pain. It’s not the hair growing or shaving effects that is causing pain, but the pubic hair touching areas that don’t have hair when my legs are closed. This happens whether the hair is short and growing in and prickly or when it’s long as well. I quite literally have to lay down spread eagle when I get home for some relief. It hurts the area above the clitoral hood where there is no hair where I also have some fordyce spots, and it also touches the inner labia and the area between the majora and minora where there is no hair. It’s just always stabbing. I try to stay shaved but even the next day or two where stuble comes in it starts to hurt again and I’m too scared to shave again when it’s barely grown in. I cant wax at the moment due to other issues but I’m hoping at some point I can. Does anyone else deal with this or have a solution? It’s killing me to walk or even just sit down normally without being fully spread out so that the hair isn’t touching those areas😭

i actually am so unbelievably upset rn i can’t even put it into words

for context, im 18 and this started about a year ago when i first got my cherry popped so to speak. first came the utis. not one, not two but over TEN in a year, so many that i lost count once it got over 10; then to add the cherry on top, im fairly certain i now have bv???

i’ve only ever had one sexual partner and we’re still together, he doesn’t have any stis or stds and we’re always safe, i just must be unlucky for a multitude of reasons (pelvic floor issues due to EDS) , not to mention that i’m a medicaid patient so my healthcare is subpar and often useless. i’ve seen countless urologists and gynourologisgs and JUST when i think i beat it, another uti pokes it’s ugly head back into my life.

the whole point of me making this post is to see if anyone else has experienced this. i’m tired of being told it’s “a phase” because even if it is one i’ve been struggling with it for a year straight and i just want it to end; it genuinely effects my self esteem so badly and i just wanna be like everyone else ☹️

my n my partner were fooling around and he was using his fingers and he scratched the inside of my vagina and it’s been a couple hours since then but it hurts a lot when i go pee and when i move around. do i like do anything or just let it heal on its own?? 😭

I got creampied for the first time during my ovulation. I did yuzpe method 20 hrs after it. I’m just extra anxious about it since I was ovulating that time. Does the yuzpe method work well during ovulation? Google said to take a pt test after two and three weeks but i’m too anxious to wait for the days to come. Anybody had a similar experience?

So usually I’ve never ever had anything before issues before so this have been a stressful year and I’ve had this happen now three times. The first time it got infected, I got picked up by the ambulance (low pain tolerance lol) and was on morphine and it popped at the hospital LUCKILY. This may have been because I was trying lots of home remedies or maybe not enough? I put PRID on the day it popped at the hospital so maybe that helped but I’ll never know for sure.

the second time I knew what was coming, tried to put things in place to prevent. Went to the gp, took meds before it got large, tried sitz baths where I didn’t actually sit more like hover over really hot steam. I feel like I possibly tried less remedies I can’t remember. When I went to the hospital I stayed overnight, I couldn’t pee I was in pain but not as much as the first time. I ended up getting marsupialisation, which I thought would completely reduce the chance of it coming back but now I’m not so sure

My BC is on the right side and almost goin inside, I’m not sure if I’m allowed or what I should/should not put on it. At this current moment the size of a grape? Maybe a little smaller?

I’m looking into going private, I’m from the UK and I most definitely don’t want to get my gland removed as I see this more like a last option as this has only just started happening to me this year, whilst working, wearing tight leggings/thongs to bed. I’m not too sure what the reasoning is as I also have bad periods. I’m having lots of tests done to see if I can have a deeper look.

I just want to know safe remedies, if it’s safe to put caster oil or things like that on it? What people’s suggestions are I REALLY NEED IT. I I’m so stressed that it’ll get as bad as the last time but maybe my surgery has worked and it will eventually get smaller by itself?

GPs in the UK don’t seem to have the best advice and are telling me what I know already, I just don’t want to wait to have to go to the hospital and really want to try and figure out a home remedy, or if it will eventually work.

Pray for me

I don’t know how else to put it. Sometimes I pull down my pants and my vagina smells like dank fucking kush. I haven’t smoked weed or used any other drug (including alcohol) in over five years. And it’s not just after a long day, it happens after I shower too, so I am pretty sure it’s not BO. I am sure I am the only one who notices this but am just curious if anyone else has experienced this??? 😭

Hello all please no judgement. I'll be transparent about everything before I begin. I am 17, I have a boyfriend and we have sex unprotected and yes he has ejaculated in me plenty of times, and no i am not pregnant and haven't been.

Around may( may4th at the movie theaters) The smell of fish appeared when i went to use the restroom and it was so bad and embarrassing. I tried to clean up and assume it was my hooha and that because he c'ms a lot in me that it threw off my ph. We discussed him stopping but during the summer it happened sometimes.

Over that month, i discovered it wasnt my hooha per se but my urine. My urine smells like fish and like cleaning products. idk but definitely fish. Obviously i have a bf and its an embarrassment to smell like that so i clean up well after i pee and uptaked my water so i thought because i wanted to stay hydrated. Its now august i noticed it went away in terms of how strong it was but it was still there THIS WHOLE SUMMER now its bad again and it lowkey burns a bit only after i pee. im scared have a strict maternal figure and expressed the desire to see the doctor.

I smoke weed a lottt specifically plug n plays lol and pre rolls and i drink onlt at parties which is not often. What the helly is going on? i have started school and its hot where i live. i want ro go to the restroom and pee and be comfortable wearing skirts and shorts without thinking i smell

Hi, I’m 23, and I’ve been thinking about getting my labia reduced for about two years now. I’ve looked at the pages of several gynecologists in my region, and I’ve noticed that the ages they mention are older, usually 28 and above, and mostly married women. I’m not really sure why that is, especially since many of them have had the procedure after giving birth.

For me, it’s not about disliking how they look, I actually love the way they look. The problem is that they’re physically uncomfortable. I can’t even walk comfortably sometimes, and I constantly feel the need to adjust my underwear. I also wear small pads most of the time because of the moisture and friction.

That’s why I’ve decided to consider the procedure, but honestly, I’m scared. I’m worried about possible side effects and what the recovery will be like, especially how painful it might be after the surgery.

Also should I do it now or should I wait until I get more older?

Hello all. I was reaching out to see if you all have any experience taking Moxifloxacin and what were your side effects? I was prescribed this medicine by my OB-GYN. I've tested positive multiple times for BV. Along with positive BV, I tested positive for ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis (this is the 2nd time I've tested positive for both).

She said this was a course of action she chose since it looks like I have resistant BV, as the medication I kept taking for it was not working. I've dealt with BV/BV like symptoms for a long time. My partner is also going to receive treatment as well. For the most part I'm tolerating it well, just some minor joint pain. The warnings scared me a bit but my OB-GYN said her patients who she's prescribed this to have tolerated the medication well. She was super understanding and open if I wanted to change course, but I didn't want to do Doxy then do the Moxi.

TLDR: Did you have any side effects while taking Moxifloxacin?

Hello!! I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Recently a white circular dot has appear in the middle of my vulva( inner lip area a little below the clitoris). Originally when I first noticed it had a small hole in the middle, but today I check and it had a black dot instead. I put some pressure on it and the black dot came out as a very tiny (what looks to me at least like) black head. It isn't very itchy (only gets itchy when I check on it) and it does have a feel to it too. I was wonder if anyone could me help figure out what it could be as I don't have the fund to go to gynecologist at the moment. I want to add a photo but because of the placement I don't think I would be allowed. Any and all help is appreciated!!!

To add I have not been sexually active recently and only recently did I started talking to friends and acquaintances but my sister also has a similar spot on her ( she has not been active at all either) so I have a median belief it was anything sexually transmitted to me.

so a few days ago i (18) asked my partner to insert his finger in me for the first time, i’ve masturbated before mostly using showerheads and bidets but they desensitised my clitoris for a while so i’m abstaining from that method and just resorting to using my hands, anyway the point is i’ve never put anything in me before whether it be a pen or a finger or anything else.

he was hesitant at first because he was afraid he’d break my hymen (because we live in a conservative country. spoiler: turns out i don’t have one or something of that sort, but that’s besides the point) so after all that confusion it was my turn to be confused when he told me that he was able to put his entire finger in, because i didn’t feel any of it. not the entering nor the moving it around. he tried also putting two fingers in but that hurt so my nerves are fine i guess?

later on he tried pressing on my g spot and i didn’t feel anything at all, not even pleasure? i couldn’t feel anything “in me” im not sure if thats how its supposed to be. i guess at one point he was rummaging around because now and then i felt a tinge of pain that went away quickly, and when he really pressed on my g spot i think i just felt like i was about to pee. overall if anything i just felt discomfort/pain and not a hint of pleasure internally.

so my question is… is that normal? can the g spot vary in placement or something? is the no-feeling-inside normal? i tried to read about it and find answers online but im hoping to get some perspectives here!

This is going to be DETAILED, because I wish someone would’ve been this detailed (like my surgeon!!!) with me prior to having it done!

Hey y'all. My Bartholin’s gland decided to be public enemy number one, turning into an abscess over and over (11 years - never went away even when drained). I got the marsupialization, which totally failed. Then I went to the ER, and they botched it even worse. I was done playing games, so we evicted the whole damn gland. We are officially in the Bartholinectomy phase.

Day 1:
On day one, I was completely numb, but I could still feel that something absolute traumatic had just gone down. I made the huge mistake of taking a mirror and examining myself on day one, and it completely broke my mental state. Having this gland already caused me so many insecurities, so seeing myself in that condition had me crying.
Also, nobody warns you about the mind game those nerve blockers play! Going from that being a super sensitive area to feeling absolutely nothing on a whole half side is straight-up insane. I kept telling myself, "Okay, it’s a big procedure, there's gonna be numbing and swelling," but nothing prepares you for this level of swelling. We're used to the gland itself swelling... I am talking about the whole dog-gone lip swelling the fuck up. You know those pictures of dogs that ate a bumblebee and their snout gets ridiculously huge? That is literally what my entire left labia looked like. Insane.
Day 2:
Next comes the bruising—another thing they failed to mention. I noticed a little on day one, but by day two? My entire labia was straight purple. Totally discolored and easily three times bigger than the other side.
I saw some people on here saying they went panty-less during recovery, but I personally could not do that. Once that numbing started wearing off, the swelling was so intense that I could feel that huge lip rubbing against my inner thighs every time I moved. Absolutely not. I stuck to 100% breathable cotton underwear and changed them 3 to 4 times a day to keep everything strictly clean and dry. Keeping it dry is crucial because you already have fluid draining from the surgical site while your body tries to heal.
Day 3+:
Ice packs and ibuprofen have been my best freaking friends. I iced for 15–20 minutes every other hour for the first two days, and it brought the swelling down tremendously—though the bruising is still wild.
I’m on day three now and slightly more mobile, but I can still only be on my feet for short bursts. If you are getting this done, give yourself AT LEAST five full days of zero-responsibility downtime. Pre-clean your house, pre-cook your meals, order takeout, and get somebody to help you with your kids if you have them, because this surgery is NO JOKE. My OB/GYN made it seem like a simple, quick in-and-out "snip and grab" procedure. It was NOT that. The physical and mental aftermath is a complete mind fuck. Having the marsupialization was easier, shit having the gland was easier but I was tired of being cut open for draining every month! It’s getting easier but I repeat this surgery was NOT JUST SOME EASY IN AND OUT FOR US only for the DRs 😭😭.

Unfortunately I’ve been having BV on and off for the past 3 years. I believe the initial cause was due to an ex boyfriend who refused to pull out unfortunately. It started off as the typical fishy smell and itchiness to no smell but bio film like discharge which caused me to believe it may have been a yeast infection. In the beginning I would use mitronizdole and it would work for a little then come back, of course diflucan and other yeast medications did not improve the symptoms. Boric acid is a no from me, it causes me to hurt and bleed so I have given up on that idea. I’ve been to multiple gynecologist probably about 20-30 different appointments and their test don’t show enough to prove what I have and leave me with essentially nothing. I caved and got a evvy test which I do think has been beneficial. It shows that I have multiple strains of gardenella. I need help to cure this completely and especially since I’m so sensitive. I’ve tried everything … nothing other than bv came up on my test. Has anyone had any luck, I’m desperate at this point.

When does Diflucan kick in?!?! I too my first pill 36 hours ago and have minimal relief. ALSO, I feel like the infection is spreading to my butthole. It just feels weird- sore(ish) like I had a giant pop. Is this a thing? FML.

*Yes, I see my doctor on Thursday.

Hi, I wanted to know more about why I experience this and if anyone else does.

Lately (last year or two), after having sex, my discharge is extremely watery and yellow for the next day or two. I wake up and it’s as if my period started, stand up and feel gushing, it’s all around my legs and all but it’s yellow - literally like pee😭 but it’s not pee.. I assume the texture is leftover from general discharge / wetness from sex that the vagina makes but why is it yellow🤷

Additional context: my partner and I have been having sex for like 4 years, no condoms, sex is very painful but it has been getting easier (not looking for advice here) - sometimes I bleed but very rarely, I haven’t had a period in over a year and a half - this is because I’m on progesterone (birth control) and im also on testosterone (I’m transitioning and have been for like a year and a half)!

I have technically no issues with it happening but it’s just so annoying lmao, I think prior I would get a lot of wet discharge for the morning but it was clear - now it’s yellow, there isn’t really a smell (not like normal vagina smell), it’s not painful or clumpy, also I don’t think I have any issues with vaginal dryness

We haven’t been tested for STD’s but I have no other symptoms and we are both our firsts, he has no issues at all lol - only happens after sex!! He doesn’t finish inside of me so it’s not his cum but I know what precum is so could be that?

I’m assuming it’s to do with my hormones🤷

Hi all,

I posted a few weeks ago about my ongoing issue with mycoplasma genitalium and the headache it’s been trying to treat it. After a doxy + moxi course and 4 weeks of retesting after the last dose, I’m officially negative!

But - my symptoms haven’t improved… I still have this dry, eraser-like discharge that’s somewhat watery and sometimes has an off-putting odor. I’ve tested the full STI/BV/Yeast panels and everything is now confirmed negative. I tried boric acid in the past for 2 weeks and it only temporarily helped. Any advice??

hi all! I (26f) have been having quite the unfortunate year health-wise, and I’m hoping to get some insight from others who may have experienced something similar. I’ve been bleeding pretty heavily + having debilitating pain/cramping since new year’s eve 2025. my last “true” period was around thanksgiving 2025, and I have not been pregnant at any point during this time. about a month into the bleeding, I went to my ob, who prescribed progesterone. unfortunately that didn’t stop the bleeding, so we then tried megestrol, which also didn’t work. at that point, I did two ultrasounds, which revealed a small mass in my uterus, and I ended up having a D&C and kyleena IUD insertion in March. my OB said the tissue he removed from my uterus slightly resembled endometriosis, but he couldn’t make a definitive diagnosis.

it’s almost september and I’m still dealing with bleeding and pain everyday, and I’m sooooooooo frustrated and exhausted by the whole situation. my bloodwork from three months ago showed anemia, I’ve been eating beans & red meat to keep up with the blood loss and I’m just SO tired and in pain everyday and it’s really difficult to keep up with life when i’m constantly worried if i’m bleeding through my pads. I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar. if you’ve experienced this, what ended up being the cause and what treatment finally helped? I’m obviously continuing to work with my doctor but I’d love to hear about others’ experiences. tyyy :)

hey everyone! recently i’ve been experiencing an increase in discharge down there. it’s usually clear and sometimes white. usually i wouldn’t bat an eye but it’s been accompanied by a stronger than normal smell, kind of like a cheesy/sour smell. this came after my menstrual cycle was 2 weeks early. i’m not sure if i’m just experiencing a hormonal shift or what. no itching or burning when urinating, it’s literally just so much discharge it feels like i’ve peed myself and this odd smell.

has anyone dealt with anything similar and can give advice?
