Hi, i have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over a year now, we are very sexually active with each other. However just recently i have started to get sore down in the vaginal area and i noticed my clean towel that i used last night is now smelly from dow there. what could this be?
Hi, Welcome to HCM. If your boy friend sticks to a monogamous relationship with you alone, then it could be due to an injury or an abrasion during sex with a secondary bacterial infection or an yeast infection and scratching. If not it could be due to a STD, possibly be a Genital Herpes infection. A thorough examination and investigations would reveal the exact diagnosis. Get well soon. Dr S.Murugan
