It sounds like it could be vaginitis. Symptoms include: inflammation, irritation, change in normal vaginal discharge (change in color, odor, or texture), itching, painful urination. Due to the unusual discharge, you may want to call a health professional.
Here are some other tips for home treatment:
avoid sexual intercourse to give irritated vaginal tissues time to heal
Try a product for yeast infection
Prevention:
Limit the number of sex partners and use condoms
Wipe from front to back after using the toilet
Wash your vaginal area once a day with plain water or a mild, nonperfumed soap; rinse well and dry thoroughly; do not douche unless a health professional advises you to do so
avoid the use of feminine deodorant sprays
during period, change tampons at least 3 times a day
avoid panty hose and tight nylon underwear

I don't think you have anything to worry about, but I would go and see your OBGYN Dr. (If you're having sex you should definitely be seeing an OBGYN once a year anyways!)
It sounds like a vaginal yeast infection. Although if you have burning on urination, it could be a Urinary Tract infection also. There are over the counter medications you can try to cure the yeast infection (see your pharmacist), but I wouldn't fool around with either. Both can be cured by medication, but you really should call your doctor, and knock off the sex until the infection is gone, as you can pass this along to your partner!!!

See your gynecologist (female) doctor right away. You have a sexually transmitted infection. It could be a yeast infection, chlamydia or something else. Most doctors don't like to tell you that because some women have been hurt when they confronted their partners. However, virgins don't get it. You'll get a cream to insert in your vagina using a tube and in a few days you'll be cured. Why didn't you have protected sex? You could get AIDS that will kill you. I recommend a test for AIDS, herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) which your doctor will probably perform after the exam.

If your discharge is yellow it could either be bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas. Bacterial vaginosis is not a std but needs to be treated. It is from an inbalance in your normal vaginal flora. Is there any smell to this discharge? Usually there will be a fishy smell. Trichomonas usually presents with a yellow or greenish discharge. You need to make an appointment with your gynecologist. If ledt untreated this could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease which can cause infertility.

You may have an STD. Did you use protection and how well did you know the guy? Get to the gyno immediately. If it is an STD you need to know now. Maybe it is a yeast infection that can be treated. Check with your gyno. She will know what it is and how to treat it. Don't have sex until you check it out.

Good chance you have a yeast infection, but it could be something worse. I'll find a link for you to look at.
You need to go to the doctor, especially since you're having sex. If you haven't gone in for a female pelvic exam, schedule one asap. It is very impotant for your health, just like breast exams.

I think you should go get tested by your doctor because this does sound like Gonnorhea. I think you should get tested for all STDs and if you don't have one then get your doctor to look to see if you have a yeast infection. Hope I've helped and good luck.
God bless.

See a GYN doctor for a vaginal culture.
"Urinary Tract Infections
IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE — Empty your bladder before sex and immediately after sex. Before sexual activity make sure that you are adequately lubricated and that you assume a comfortable position to avoid injury to the urethra."

You must get checked by a doctor immediately. The jerk you slept with evidently gave you a disease. Some are very serious, even life threatening. If you don't insist on guys using a condom at least, you are throwing your life and health away.
