Is this something to worry about?

Hi. I want to get confirmation that this is an actual issue before I spend money going into my OB. So about a month ago, I started feeling very weak, lethargic, and dizzy/somewhat disoriented. This continued for about a week then I started getting excruciating headaches along with the other symptoms. I started my period the second week so I figured that had something to do with it considering I was also having abdominal pain and leg weakness. At the end of the second week, I randomly woke up in the middle of the night vomiting. I thought it may be a virus but I never threw up again after that nor did I have fever. The third week, a few days after my period ended, all symptoms were occurring then I started getting a thin white vaginal discharge that I've never had before. It smells awful. Two days later I start spitting. I thought I may be pregnant but the spotting lasted for four more days. Along with the odor. I fined spotting about two days ago and the odor started to go away but the odor started again yesterday and spotting started again today. Along with all of the original symptoms I began with as well as abdominal and pelvic pain, along with the leg weakness.  Also, about a year ago I tested HPV + along with abnormal cell changes.

Hi there.  Well, I think most of these symptoms are unrelated.  Spitting is not a symptom of vaginal problem.  :>)  I would say though, the thin, watery discharge with a strong foul odor is indicative of bacterial vaginosis.  That does indeed need to be treated by a physician.  It requires medication to eradicate it.  Do not douche in the mean time as that compounds the problem and often results in a yeast infection on top of the BV.  BV can occur all on its own or can be passed from a sexual partner.  I had BV during a period of time I which I was not with anyone.  It happens.  The other symptoms are most likely unrelated or related to your cycle (starting your period).  good luck
