Hi,

I understand your concerns.

First, I want to make sure that the white discharge is really coming out of your clitoris or from your vagina?
If it is from clitoris which is also swollen, then, possibly a local infection is suspected.

If the white discharge is coming out of your vagina, then, fungal infection is suspected especially if :
- you've been using antibiotics recently
- you are also having itchiness locally apart hurting

There is nothing worrisome, I'd advise to consult with your physician or OG specialist. These are common infection that can occur in patients who have never had sex.

For the moment, I advise to:
- apply cold compresses locally
- apply Greek yogurt locally
until you see your doctor.

Wish fast recovery!
