Hi, i have been to the doctors with very sore nether regions, bleeding from the skin around my vagina not from inside, abdominal pain mainly on the left lower down at front and sudden severe incontinence

she said i had a urine infeciton and possibly thush (dispite the lack of discharge) and i also told her i was two weeks late for my period despite not having sex or being on contraception for four months

she gave me antibiotics and cream and so on, which is helping but the thing that worried me is i was bending down over a mirror to see where i was putitng the cream and this runny stuff the same colour and consistency of chocolate milk shot out of my vagina, i thought maybe it was the beginning of a period but since then nothing, it was also a completely different colour to brown dishcarge i have experienced in the past and still no period or anything, i now notice a strong smell

could this all be thrush? should i go back? could it be something more sinister? anyone had anything similar before? a bit scared...

Oh, just to clarify- never thought of this,

i am my boyfriends first and the other person i have slept with we were both virgins , and i have never had unprotected sex so an STD is probbly out of the question

also i have not seen anymore brown stuff and the smell came after the brown stuff

it is now seven weeks since my last period and i have had a couple of severe lower down cramps as if im going to have a period- rushed out to buy tampons and their all still in the box..

I also am experiencing suddenly getting very hot for a few minutes and even feeling faint then it passing and me being fine, i have occisonally sudeenly coem over very cold and shivery too but agai it passes before i worry about it

i have only been sexually active a year and my doctors dont worry about smear tests until youve been at it for five years maybe i should ask specifically

actually the more i write the more i know i gotta see a doctor, obviously im not asking for a diagnosis, im just wondering if anyone has experienced smething similar, and if theres any advice out there i can take or any ressurance as i cant get an appointment till at least thursday 4 days time and im doing my nut!

thanks :S

Don't be scared by any sorts of brown discharge, it can mean a number of things but very rarely is bad.

Right before and right after your period, the body will create a brown, mucus or liquid like discharge. It's the body's natural way of preparing the body for the period, and it commonly happens a week before to a week after the menstrual cycle. If you have taken the one pilll for the seven days elimation of yeast infection, then brown liquid will also remove itself. This is just old blood and bad bacteria leaving your system.

Skin irritation in or around the vagina is very commonly yeast infection, but can very easily be an allergic reaction to condoms or vaginal dryness. Before having sex, try getting more worked up or using natural-feeling lubricants, like KY Jelly.

You should know and understand yeast infection. It's a fungus and it grows if it's not treated properly, your doctor putting you on anti biotic for it doesn't make a lot of sense since anti biotic s is one of it's main causes. Yeast can appear in any other part of your body and will continue to grow if not properly removed.

If your symptoms do not subside, consider the following:

- First, get tested for anything possible. If it's not Yeast, it could be something, STD or not, it's a very easy place to get infections, cysts and skin conditions.
- Have your boyfriend get checked out, girls can pass yeast infection on to their mates, and very seldom to the guys feel symptoms. If he's scared for the medicine, tell him not to worry, it's just a cream that actually feels quite soothing.
- Eat garlic. Daily.
- Plain yogurt, unsweetened as acidiphilus, which is a pro biotic found in the vaginal walls which help fight against yeast, however, yeast is more powerful so it's suggested that those with yeast infection takes acidphilius pills to fight the bacteria and help rebuild.
- Eliminate all sugar products, including fruits, and products that contain yeast. A recommended diet would be, fresh vegetables, legumes, rice, beans, lean meats (like chicken or turkey), and plain yogurt. Plain yogurt tastes like sour cream, so if you don't want to eat it straight, you can put it on potatoes and it'll give you the same effect. Stay away from dairy products, but feel free to eat as many eggs as you want.

Good luck and try not to stay too worried, I know all of this from personal experience.


Oh, and if you get tested and it's not yeast but still irritated, keep in mind in what you're doing down there, soaps and perfumes can irritate the skin, go to a gyno and get looked at.
