Thin yellow discharge, itching
I have been experiencing thin yellow discharge with some blood and a lot of itching and irritation. What can be causing this?
I had a bartholin gland cyst a week and a half ago but it has gone down dramatically now, I also used a harsh bar soap and probably went a little too far inside when cleaning in the shower, and I have also been pretty sick with strep and a middle ear infection during this time (antibiotics for two days so far). I was at the GYN last week and she said that everything looked totally fine aside from the remaining swelling from the cyst. At that time my discharge was white and very pasting and I thought it might be a yeast infection. Now I am not sure!
I would like to avoid going to the GYN twice in such a short period of time, so any advice or ideas would be appreciated!

Thank you for the response.
I did get swabs done when I went to the GYN and they came back clean, thankfully. After my period things felt normal again. I was also on zpak for whatever infection I had (ear/sinus/tonsil) and things felt a little better even just after that.

Hello,
One possibility is of of trichomoniasis. The characteristic symptom of trichomoniasis infection is a heavy, frothy, fishy-smelling discharge from the vagina. The infection can also cause discomfort during sex, vaginal itching, pain when passing urine and occasionally stomach pains.
Diagnosis can be confirmed only after pelvic examination and swab samples of the discharge and cervix swabs.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
