What Causes Boil Like Formation In The Vagina With White Discharge After Having Sex?
I m not exactly sure what the issue could possibly be, but I m going to explain the symptoms that my aunt described to me. (She didn t really know who or what to ask.) She told me that she has had sex recently with her current boyfriend, and after having sex, she had noticed a boil-like formation in her vagina. (The actual vagina, not the vulva.) She told me of white discharge, and said that she managed to access this sore. After access, she squeezed the pus out (she described it as white as well.) Could this potentially be an STD, or is it just an irritation, or something of that sort? Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely a boil due to bacterial infection. But if there is unusual discharge after the unprotected sex then STDs should be ruled out. If there is whitish discharge from vagina then that is most likely an yeast infection. A vaginal swab test will be helpful in rule out that. For yeast infection in my patients i treat with clotrimazole cream for application or vaginal suppository of clotrimazole. For boil betadine ointment application will be helpful also. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
