Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a soreness on the outside of my vaginal lips. An ache of sorts. As if one had just had lots of intercourse, and I ve not. Lately there is a warm feeling around the outside of the lips as well. I also have a large amount of clear, odorless discharge. I am going for a pap smear on Thursday. But am trying to see if these are possible signs of an STD or cancer?
dear mam please be assured that we cannot think of a cancer now. Dryness in vulva with itching ,hot flushes are the common symptoms during perimenopausal days,though i am not confirmed of your age. More over discharge might be due to any fungal infection or irritation that can be treated easily with a topical or oral anti fungal agents.Yes please go ahead for the tests are these are always indicated,more over please take care of antiseptic wash and hygiene of the intimate areas. hope this helps most welcome for further queries.
