Last week I was treated for a serious uti and was given a 7 day course of antibiotics. At diagnosis, I also had really inflamed labia and discharge. The clinic took a sample and found it to be negative, but decided to treat me with an anti fungal to be safe. The discharge cleared up after two days.

Here is where the weird part begins:

About 3 days after it cleared up, I got a little bleeding (light period, haven't had one in a long time because I'm on mirena) accompanied by excessive watery discharge. The bleeding has ended, but now I'm still experiencing a ton of discharge that has a slight yellow tinge. Not chunky or smelly whatsoever, no itching. It's getting really uncomfortable to deal with because my underwear feels sopping wet after an hour or two.

I don't know if it is truly a yeast infection or not, if the antibiotics threw off the balance in my vagina and caused a minor yeast infection and now it's just trying to clean itself out, or if having a minor period after 1.5 years of not having one threw my body off or not. Do I wait it out? It's been going on for about a week now... Or would it do any harm to use Monistat as a precaution just to see what happens?

Any advice is appreciated!!!!

Sorry for any moments of TMI...About a day ago, I had sex with a guy that is only in town every once in a blue moon. Probably way too much in such a short period of time. No STDs. I at times could tell that I was a little dry when he would insert his penis and I felt it pull my labia (minora) quite a bit, but after a thrust or two, I'd be wet and the labia pain would subside so I didn't ask him to stop. It was all very enjoyable.

So the next morning, I wake up and my labia was extremely swollen and somewhat hard/firm for lack of better words. Urinating was somewhat uncomfortable during the day, but now it is truly unbearable, to the point where I don't even want to go (but Ik I have to otherwise i'll get a UTI). So the burning isn't from my urethra but rather, my urine itself is burning my already irritated and swollen labia. I'm taking ibuprofen and putting on a little neosporin in attempts to help subside the symptoms, but have had no luck as of yet. I've used cold compresses and the labia aren't as swollen on the outside anymore, but there is still swelling close to the vaginal opening. I don't believe it's a yeast infection. No green/weird discharge. There is extra discharge in general, but I was thinking that was my body's own way of lubricating my irritated labia.

I just don't know what to do. is there a way to make my urine itself burn less? ways to protect my labia? ugh. Idk. please help

okay. i will try to make this as short and sweet as possible. My boyfriend and i are going to be dating for about a year now and things have been rocky the past few weeks. Finally, yesterday, i just blurted it all out. we have always had a communication issue from day one, mostly on my part i suppose. i never ever told him things that really bothered me when they occurred. I know, shame on me, but it is only because of issues i was facing in my life before i even met him. i was depressed and alone when i met him and looking back now, i know that part of why i never said anything and put on this front of being the perfect no nonsense girlfriend was because i wanted to make sure that i wasn't going to add more problems and stress to my life by having any sort of confrontations in the relationship. obviously now i realize that that isn't a healthy normal relationship. so i talked to him and told him the truth: i am still depressed a bit and feel that i have no idea who i really am anymore. i feel very lost and that i may have used him as a crutch to avoid my own problems for so long. i told him that didn't mean that the entire relationship has been fake, i do love him soooooo much and he does know some of the darkest parts of my life and still loves me anyways.

So here comes the real problem at hand: its not that i don't love him. he is the sweetest person alive and after telling him things that were bothering me he said he would go to the ends of the earth for me and that he will change whatever to be with me and that he knows 100% that he wants to spend his life with me. What a great guy, right? Problem is, right this moment in my life, i cannot give him the same answer. I know that i love him, but how can i make some lhuge life decision about who i spend the rest of it with, when i still don't know who i really am completely or what is right for the next year let alone my life? I am only 20, i know i know, i am young and have my whole life ahead of me. and thats just it. I realize i am young which is why i can't make that "until death do us part decision" right now. (he didn't propose, i don't want to sound confusing). I just need to take one day at a time but as we talked i felt that he more or less wanted to know if he was the only one for me, the way he feels about me. I don't want to lead him on by saying that to him. Like i am not going out of my way to find someone better(if there even is someone better) but i don't want to just throw away what we have right now just to take a break. right now i want to be with him, but that doesn't mean that things still can't change, you know?

Any insight would be much appreciated. please don't tell me i am being selfish and silly to think twice about a guy so wonderful. i just want to know if what i am feeling is right and normal and if it is okay for me to ask him to just take it one day at a time. i don't need extra pressure/stress on my already hard life. like these should be the fun years yet it hasn't been fun lately and just got so serious and ultimatum-like.

HELP.

So long story short I work out 4-5 times a week and 2-3 of those days I do strength along with my cardio. I usually try to get 45 min or so of cardio work(interval running/elliiptical) every time I work out. The strength things I do for my legs are: leg press, front and side lunges, hamstring curl and leg extensions. I do upper strength exercises too.

My problem is that instead of my legs becoming toner and ultimately thinner, they just seem to bulk up exponentially along with my butt. I have no issue with my butt getting bigger, but I just find it annoying that my inner thighs just keep growing AKA- my jeans don't fit anymore. I have a toned slim upper body that just looks unproportionally small to my lower body. When I do the strength exercises i use light weight and more repititions for muscle endurance not bulk. what am i doing wrong? help?

ps. i realize not everyone can have stick thin legs with no fat. I am ok with having curves, i just don't understand why i bulk so quickly
