What Causes White Vaginal Discharge During Urination?
Question: I did a culture test for herpes and it came back negative... but my gf is now experiencing white discharge . pain while peeing... and also little lesions around the inside of the vagina. but my doctor assured me at the std/hiv clinic that no way I have herpes. could the penicillin that was prescribed to my gf cause all this mess in her vagina. like a really bad yeast infection. I pray it is not genital herpes. but I think it's not. I know that planned parenthood said to my gf. just by visual it is. but if my test came back negative. I just belive it's a really bad yeast infection due to the meds my gf didn't need to take for genital herpes and it just disrupted her vagina.
Brief Answer:
Yeast can be confirmed by test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
From your description and the fact that it occurred after a course of antibiotics, make yeast infection high in the differential diagnosis. It can be confirmed or excluded by microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge.
If it is yeast, it is very easily treated.

Thank you. I'm just praying in my part that it's all negative and just a yeast infection that can be treated.

Please don't worry or feel guilty.
Yeast infections are common in women and easily treated. Simple test confirms. Please check a blood sugar also as any condition that decreases immunity makes one more susceptible to yeast infection.
Have a good day.
