Yes! I would be able to help you and very glad to. There are any a number of things that could be causing your discharge and irritation. I'm not even going to go into the the relatively harmless ones because you need immediate evaluation by a physician who will take cultures and perform an examination to determine precisely what is the cause enabling him to start treatment immediately.
You ability to conceive and bare children is what is at risk here and I am certain that is of utmost concern to you. There are I believe over twenty different types of sexually transmitted diseases. Most can be successfully treated and the progression of damage to your reproductive organs halted quickly if you take the matter seriously and seek professional care IMMEDIATELY!. That is also the only way to definitively diagnose your condition. I also recommend you ask your physician or gynecologist for an Hiv screen.While the symptoms you describe do not indicate you have Hiv. The fact you have multiple sexual partners puts you at high risk.
Now that i have terrified you to death, there is no need to panic but this is a matter of extreme importance and time is of the essence if indeed, this man infected you with a STD.
The danger is that the infection will scar your fallopian tubes and other reproductive organs . This could prevent your ovum from being fertilized because the fallopian tubes may be scarred making it impassible for the ovum (Egg)to reach the uterus. Or worse, the ovum could become fertile and lodge in a constricted area of the fallopian tube damaged by the infection causing what is called a tubal or ectopic pregnancy.
This type of pregnancy must be terminated as it inevitably will cause a rupture and severe hemorrage often causing death. Unfortunately, this may occur even before the woman knows she is pregnant.
There are many other complications of untreated STD's many of which can cause serious life threatening permanent damage.
But worse case scenario, if indeed you have been infected with a bacterial std, and you make an appointment immediately and I mean today. We have numerous powerfull antibiotics to clear the infection in a very brief time with minimal if any damage done to your reproductive organs. And daily advances in infertility treatment.
The key factors are determining if it is a bacterial std or a milder infectioan such as a yeast overgrowth which is quite miserable but basically harmless, the particular organism responsible for the std, and the amount of time before it is diagnosed and treament begun . Sounds to me you done the right thing to seek advice and on this I assure you my advice is priceless. I do have education, training and experience as a certified Basic Emergency Medical technician and Licensed Vocational Nurse. Top of my classes both majors. A proud 4.0 honor graduate.
I care about you and I want you to get this seen about right away. Most likely it will turn out to be something not too serious. But with your fertility at stake, don't take any risks Ok?
And don't be shy or embarrassed by anything. Your Dr and his assistance are quite at ease talking with you about it and you need to take charge for your own health care. With this and any other health concerns you have.
Your physician and or his assistance should explain everything in terms you can understand. If you don't understand anything. Be sure to ask them to explain it again.
If your health care providers do not fully explain all aspects of your care then you can not make sound informed judgements. Most will be overly glad to assist you in any way but for those who think you do not have the intelligence or ability or right to make informed decisions, get rid of them quick and find a Physician who understands your needs.
I hope this has been of help and God's peace be with you and grant you restoration of your health. I will be praying for you. let me know how it turns out if you get a chance. Love to you, Faith
ps. And take your complete entire dose of antibiotics if prescribed even if your symptoms go away.!

It could be your period starting as you said its due. It depends, if you used a condom then its quite likely you have had a reaction to the rubber or have a yeast infection. Is the discharge white? If so then it sounds like it. You need some cream from the chemist (its VERY common in women so dont be embarrassed) A few drops of Tea tree oil on a tampon works just as well. If you had unprotected sex then you may have caught an STI so even if you think it is a yeast infection you need checked anyway. In my country you can go along to he local GUM clinic and dont need a referral to your G.P, maybe if your embarrassed you could do this or if you dont mind then see your doctor. Good luck.

It could be something as simple as thrush (yeast infection), but because of the bleeding you should really go to the doctor or std clinic (try genito-urinary) at the hospital just to make sure. If it is an std, the sooner you get it confirmed and start treatment, the better off you will be. If you leave it, the symptons may disappear without the infection being cleared, which can lead to infertility.

here is some information i found for you on vagina infections, but keep in mind you could have caught something if you had unprotected sex
Most vaginal infections have no apparent cause. They sometimes occur in times of stress or other illness. They also often occur (especially yeast infections) following a course of antibiotics taken for other reasons.
Some vaginal infections are a result of sexual intercourse, but the organisms covered in this topic area tend not to be ranked as seriously as other sexually transmitted diseases.
Symptoms of Vaginal Infections
Symptoms can range from minimal discharge, odor or irritation, to copious discharge with substantial irritation and pain.
Diagnosis of Vaginal Infections
These causes of vaginal infection can usually be easily diagnosed by your doctor in the office using simple techniques. Often, just the history and clinical presentation is enough to conclude which type of infection it is.

I would see your gyno it could be lots of things. It could be a urinary tract infection or a yeast infection or since youve slept with someone new it could be a sexually transmitted infection. But your period could also be coming hence the spotting and sometimes you get a yeast infection before your period due to hormones. If the discharge has no smell and is clumpy and cottage cheese like it could be a yeast infection if you have never been diagnosed with one before see your gyno before getting any medicine to be sure.

it sounds like thrush, which is a yeast infection, but if your bleeding a little with it, then it could be something else as well.
your best off going to the doctors, if you have male doctor and are embarrassed, go to an hns clinic, where they have female doctors who can examine you.
try not to worry too much, but get it checked out asap to be on the safe side.
good luck!

I would get straight down the doctors it could be STD and if some are treated straight away they can cause permanent damage. But dont worry yourself as it could be thrush which can also be caught from sex, and that would cause itching, soreness, redness and discharge.

It's very possible that the bleeding could have something to do with your period coming or an infection but check with your dr to be on the safe side.
