From what I remember I had two bad,bacteria in my vagina. I can vaguely remember because it was last year. I'm asking now because I think I'm having the same or similar symptoms, white creamy discharge being one. There isn't a smell, burning, or itching. I just want to know if it might be this again how can prevent this from happening. Also, it seems to occur only after I have sex with one specific person not anyone else.
Brief Answer:
You and your partner will need testing and treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hey there, sorry for the delayed reply,
So from what I understand here, you had an infection about a year ago which was treated with Antibiotics like the ones we discussed before. Now, you are having similar symptoms to that infection. Not exactly though since there isn't a smell or any burning sensation associated with your current symptoms.
These two infections seem to have occurred after having sex with one particular partner.
From that set of information, I believe that its very important for you and that partner to get a full screening done. You need to have a bacterial and fungal culture done in your urine as well as a vaginal swab. I think you may have another infection and you will probably need antibiotics.
I cant be sure, but this partner may be the source of the infection. In which case, they need screening as well for their own health as well as for any other partners safety.
People can be carriers of these kinds of sexually transmitted diseases for many many years without having active symptoms themselves. So it's very possible that your suspicions are right on the money.
IN the mean time. I would suggest you make an appointment with your primary care provider and call your partner to suggest that they do the same.
Luckily, antibiotics are all you should really need to handle this issue. It's not life threatening, just annoying (as i'm sure you know).
The best prevention for any kind of sexually transmissible infection is good screening and regular health checkups. Condoms and other barrier methods are helpful, but not really 100% effective.
Trust your body and trust your instincts about this and get to your doctor for a screening right away.
I hope this helps, Let me know how I can further clarify things.
