Question

I'm 24 years old.

I'm not so happy with what happened between me and my girl friend. Let me lay it out here so you might be able to help me with a suitable solution.

Here goes: I was dating a girl for 3 years without any problem, but the problem started when we decided to have sex. Every night when we had sex in  the morning she felt abdominal pain. She said it feels like something is pulling her fallopian tube. A day later she would have discharge. She was changing pad every hour. The discharge was so bad.

She went to the clinic they gave her some pills and she was fine. But the problem start again once she sleep with me. She broke up with me because of that.

Now I have another girl friend, same story. She got this abdominal pain and discharge just on the first day we had sex. Obviously the problem is me. 

Please help me Dr love with the appropriate solution. I don't want to lose my girl again.

 


Answer

Yes, it does sound like the problem is with you. How mature and responsible of you to take ownership.

My first thought is to find out what your former girlfriend was treated for. Did they culture the discharge and identify that pathogen?

I have the suspicion that we may be dealing with a yeast infection. Yeast infections produce a lot of whitish, yellowish, or cottage cheese-like discharge that has a strong but not unpleasant odor. The is usually an itching and burning sensation.

Your next move is to see your own doctor and describe what's happening. You need to be tested for the most common STDs. If all these tests come back negative, then my suspicion that you have a yeast overgrowth will be confirmed. Keep in mind that the STD testing will not look for a yeast overgrowth in you.

If you have a yeast overgrowth, you will want to be checked for diabetes, which is a common underlying cause of yeast infections in both men and women.

Please let me know what you find out.
