Vaginal discharge can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. *Understanding the Situation* 1. *Normal vaginal discharge*: Clear or white discharge is normal, but excessive discharge with a strong odor can indicate an issue. 2. *Possible causes*: Bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infection, trichomoniasis, or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) might be causing the discharge. 3. *Sexual activity*: The timing of the discharge starting after sex with your boyfriend suggests a possible STI or bacterial imbalance. *Treatment and Precautions* 1. *Consult a gynecologist*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a pelvic exam. 2. *Testing and diagnosis*: Your doctor may perform tests, such as a Pap smear, wet mount, or STI screening, to determine the cause of the discharge. 3. *Treatment*: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include antibiotics, antifungal medications, or other therapies. 4. *Precautions*: - Practice safe sex using condoms to reduce the risk of STIs. - Maintain good hygiene: wipe from front to back, avoid scented soaps, and wear breathable clothing. - Avoid tight-fitting clothing and synthetic fabrics. - Consider using panty liners or breathable pads for comfort during the day. *When to Seek Immediate Attention* 1. *Severe abdominal pain* 2. *Fever or chills* 3. *Heavy bleeding or clotting* 4. *Difficulty urinating* 5. *Unusual or foul odor*
