Itching and burning in the vulvar and vaginal area
in Women's Health ·
I’m honestly not quite sure which subforum is the best place for this question. A few days ago, following intercourse, I started experiencing symptoms of a bladder infection—including a small amount of blood. It seems to flare up most intensely in the morning for a few hours, after which it either subsides completely or becomes very minimal. On top of that, there’s an itching sensation at the vaginal opening and a general sense of discomfort. My discharge has become thicker, though it isn't excessive, and I haven't noticed any visible changes on the external areas.
This isn't my first time dealing with this; it has happened twice before under similar circumstances—once right after sex and once about a week before my period—but I can't recall what might have triggered it back then.
The problem is, my appointment with the gynecologist isn't scheduled for another month.
