Had Unprotected Sex, Taking Birth Controls. Itching And Redness In Vagina, Hurt To Urinate. Is It An Infection?
Hi I m 18 years old and have been with the same person for 2 years, we don t use a condom and I have been on the same pill , about a month ago my vagina was very red and itchy and when I would go to the toilet it would hurt to urinate and after I still had the urge to urinate. Shortly after it was there it went again, now I am having the same problem.

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
from the information you have given, it sounds more that you
have an infection and most probably with Candida which is a
yeast infection.
It is not thought to be sexually transmissible but then it is
believe that sexual intercourse promotes it.
More so, use of hormonal contraceptive is known to predispose
to yeast infections. Sore vaginal, thick creamy white discharges,
pains during intercourse, reddish vagina are all possible symptoms.
A vaginal sample collection for microscopy, pH and KOH tests is
indispesable to establish the right cause of the infection which
could be the Yeast infection, or Trichomonas or bacterial.
Best regards and hope this helps you.
