I'm about a week away from starting my period, and I think I have some kind of infection. It's kind of like an infection I had last year, which my gyno said was vaginitis. At the time, I was wearing only thongs, so after getting it twice more that same year, I started wearing cotton underwear. But since then, I keep getting this infection. I've probably had it six or seven times in the past two years, and it's really starting to worry me. I have no health insurance and can't see the gyno right now. So... does anyone know what this might be? Basically, it burns around my vagina when I wipe. There's a bit of very red blood, like the exterior of it is bleeding, but not very much at all. Then also when I wipe, there's a little discharge and the discharge has stringly looking pinksih stuff in it (blood?). Sometimes it will bleed a little more, so I'll have a small spot on my underwear, but mostly just when I wipe. (Sorry- hope this wasn't too gross). P.S.- I'm 22, only one partner, ever.
