Hello, I’m 18 years old and have been into the Emergency room twice with pain in my vagina. It started out with just burning when I urinated but has since escalated into something else. The first trip I made into the ER, I was told I had a simple UTI. I was put on Cephalexin for 7 days but was told to return in 48hrs if my symptoms have not subsided. I ended up having more symptoms such as raw feeling, extreme tenderness, discharge, and swelling in my vagina. I returned back into the ER and was told I do not have a uti but they don’t know why I’m experiencing this. They did a vaginal exam and everything came back normal. What could possibly be going on?!

I’m 16 years old and over the past few days have been experiencing stinging sensations on the outside of my vagina, I am currently on my period so I’m unsure if that could be the case (although I’ve never had it like this before) I’m honestly too scared to get a scanning and I definitely wouldn’t tell my parents. Me and my boyfriend have been together around six months and have intercourse regularly although he always wears protection, however I noticed it was quite painful the last time we did tried it. I’ve also noticed excessive “chunks” coming out in my blood which have a weird skin like texture, I’m extremely worried and want to know if it could be an sti. I’ve even looked at my vagina myself to see if I could see any weird symptoms but it just looks a little grazed. It doesn’t hurt when I urinate but when I wipe it often stings.
