Pain, swelling during/after sex

I'm 18 years old , I've only ever slept with 2 guys in long term relationships, the first we lost our virginities to each other, sex was great.. No problems at all.
My second relationship we had sex protected and then unprotected one night..then I started to have a few problems like pain after and sometimes during sex and also a burning sensation when urinating. I went to the doctors and they told me I had a water infection, I was put on a course of antibiotics and thought that would be the end of it. It wasn't... Sex still hurt, I still had the burning sensation and one day had bad abdominal pain and blood in my urine, I was told to go to the clinic,which I did.. I had a swab done and it came back positive for Clymidia , I had treatment and so did my boyfriend, we waited the amount of time recommended before we could resume any sexual activity, I didn't have any pain anymore, until it came to us having sex again, my vagina became very swollen and red and incredibly sore, I returned to the clinic and was told I had developed thrush as a reaction to the previous treatment/medication , again I had the appropriate treatment and it cleared up but I've still had pain when I've had sex ever since, sometimes abdominal pain , pain whilst having sex , incredibly sore on the inside and outside of the vagina,sometimes even browny discharge which looks like dried blood or a yellowy discharge the day after, sometimes I get that swollen around the opening to the vagina mid way through sex that it prevents being entered, I've had a check up swab to see if maybe the treatment didn't work but my results where all negative for STI's ... I'm really worrying now as its this way for almost a year now and doesn't seem to go away.. Everything's fine as long as I don't have sex but I cannot restrain from sexual activity all my life, i want an intimate relationship, children in the future, I'm at my wits end .. Need help please!

Hi Zoweey, Look google Trichomoiasis, I think you mat find you answer there, they say its not an easy disease to trace, just get back to your STD/GUM Clinic and see what they can do for you.
Good Luck

You could be having allergic/hypersensitivity reactions to something.  If you're using condoms, it could be latex or the spermicide that's on many condoms.  You could try unlubricated condoms (get your own hypoallergenic lube) and try that, and try polyurethane condoms, which are latex free.  If your boyfriend uses irritating soaps, that could do it.  Also, if you've been having sex and you get a yeast infection, you both need to be treated or you can pass it back and forth.  Finally, it's rare but not unheard of for some women to be allergic to semen, in which case adequate protection should do it.  And abdominal pain *might* be from pelvic inflammatory disease, especially since you had chlamydia.  I don't know if a vaginal swab would show chlamydia hiding out in the uterus, so it's important to get that checked out (and it's apparently easy for doctors to miss because the presentation can be mild/vague).
