Is this an STD? Cancer? I'm scared!

Tagged as: Sex<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (25 August 2009) 7 Answers - (Newest, 28 August 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am 16 and about 3 months ago me and my boyfriend started having sex.

The first time we didn't use a condom (I know it was stupid, please don't lecture me on it :/ And he withdrew before he was about to finish)

We were both virgins and had never kissed or had intimate contact with anyone else before.

Everything was fine until about a month or so ago when I started feeling pain during sex - this happened about 2 or 3 times. My vagina was also quite itchy and had a weird white discharge. Then about a week ago the discharge was light green and there was more of it. It cleared up after that and I was fine until yesterday when I had sex with my boyfriend twice and it was fine, no pain or discomfort. But afterwards I went to the toilet and there was the tinyest bit of blood on the toilet roll. It didn't happen again until today when it happened again. It is a tiny amount and I don't feel any pain.

Since we had never kissed or done anything with anyone before I am wondering if it could still be an STI :/

We have used condoms ever since the first time and no problems arised until July.

Yesterday we didn't have much foreplay so I might not have been that wet. I had no discomfort during sex and I feel okay now. I am just really scared now. It doesn't help maters that I am a hypochondriac.

Could this be an STI or cancer???

Please help, I can't relax or know what to do until I know :(

I'd be very grateful for your help!

Thanks for all your answers. There was only a tiny bit of blood and it only happened twice and the discharge has cleared up -my mum reckoned that was thrush- but now i'm really itchy down there (around the 'entrance' as it were)! It goes on and off but it is annoying. I have no other symptoms accompanying it. Ive had sex since and it has been fine and not uncomfortable at all. My boyfriend reckons it is dry skin. Can you get dry skin round the entrance? I suppose i have been wiping it a bit too hard with the loo roll trying to make sure there is no more unusual discharge and wiping away the natural moisture so that is a possibility. We have used condoms ever since the first time. Oh and also we'd had a 3 week break while he was on holiday and the first time we had sex after that we both felt a bit itchy which may have been because of the break. So what do you think? Could it be dry skin or worse? Sorry for the essay and the details. Thanks again for your help.

hey, get yourself to a doc and stop worrying about it.

its probably just thrush which can cause the itching but its so easy to treat its unreal, girls can get it from all sorts of things and it can go away without much of a do, but if your boyf has picked it up then he'll just keep giving it back to you so best to find out.

busy04 agony auntThis is not a medical website or a doctors office, which is where you need to go to find out what's going with you!

It may be an STD OR STI or it may not be, could be a yeast infection, etc. You just need to get to a doctor to be absolutely sure.

These days you can't always take someones sexual health or the declarations that they are "clean" at face value. Just because they say they haven't had sex before does not mean it's true, just because they say they don't have "anything" does not make it true either. You have to know for yourself & you owe it to yourself & your well being to make sure that you're getting involved with a "clean person". So for future reference ask your partner if they've been tested and if they haven't tell them to get tested. That way you won't be stressed over things:)

k_c100 agony auntI really dont think this is cancer so dont worry about that! If you are both virgins then it is unlikely you could have an STI either. There are a few things it could be, most likely thrush or something like that. I suggest you go to your doctor and tell them all the symptoms you have experienced and then they will be able to advise you better than we can on here.

Dont be embarrassed to see a doctor - when you make an appointment ask for a female doctor and then you will feel more comfortable talking about it. They see these types of problems day in day out so it wont be anything new to them I promise! The liklihood is that you have just got a yeast infection but you need to see a doctor to make sure. And while you are there you can talk about birth control if you are planning on continuing to have regular sex with your boyfriend!

I hope this helps and good luck!

karasu10 agony auntwell it could be an infection. you could be allergic to latex or you need to clean yourself better before and after sex. this also applies to your boyfriend even if there is a condom invilved. my suggestion to you is that you go to a clinic and get a papsmear. especially since you just started having sex. it is very important to make sure everything is ok down there when have experienced sex for the first time. i hope everything is ok.

good luck!

A reader, anonymous, writes (25 August 2009):

There is a test. Idk if they have it in England or not, but it is in America. It's a vagisil testing kit. It measures the ph of your vagina to see if you have a bacterial infection-very easy to use, only 14 bucks. It's very accurate. If it finds something, you should go to the doctor, but I'd recommend going to the doctor anyways just to be on the safe side, whether it found something or not?

It could also be something as simple as a yeast infection, or extra yeast from your body. There are things to get rid of this as well. The white stuff might be natural lubrication from your body. However, this green stuff might be something to worry about.

As far as the blood goes, sometimes if a guy goes in too deep you can bleed from your cervix.

Hope this helps, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't go looking around the internet for what it "could" be scaring yourself to death! Go to a real doctor!

Sphronas agony auntYou need to go and see a doctor. I doubt that it is cancer and if you were both virgins, it can't be a sexually transmitted disease, but it is clearly an infection of some sort. The sooner this is treated, the better.
