writes: I have discharge coming out of my vagina. It sort of stings, and sometimes not. The discharge is slightly yellow. Is this normal? This has been happening for awhile ever since I started putting lubricant on my vagina for my first time. When I put on lubricant I don't feel anything. I hope I don't have sexually transmitted disease, because I never had sex before. I am very concerned. Could you please give me some advice? Thanks.

Hi there I think you have vaginitis. Basically this is an infection that can be brought on by being allergic to perfumed soap, condoms and most probably lubrication gels. You can get this as a consequence to sexaully transmitted diseases too, but as you say your not sexaully active then I would suggest that its the lubrication that may have caused this, it is quite common, and you may even have had a bout of thrush go un noticed and its turned into a bacterium. This is easily treated, but you have to seek medical advise to get this treated. Typically it will be an oral anitbiotic pill, but its best for your doctor to decide what treatment is required. You will need to get this looked at fairly quickly as this can lead to other unwanted effects, such as PID (pelvic inflammatory disease)
Dont be too alarmed its easily treated and managed, and once diagnosed properly and treated straight away there shouldnt be any furhter problems, this is relatelivly common in young woman, and your Doctor will be able to give you all the info you need. I have attached two links for you which I found to be very informative.
Please read through these and pop along to your gyno, doctor or medical practioner to get this treated.
If you would like to discuss this further then feel free to message me.
Take care x x

sounds to me like you have had an allergic reaction hun. stop using the lubricant straight away, go see your doctor and get it checked out. I know it is embarrassing but you can ask to get a female nurse to look at it that way it wont be so bad.hope it all goes ok if you leave it it will just get worse.
