What Causes Itching And Irritation After Sex?
Hello, I m pretty scared, and can t go to the doctor for another two months, but I need answers right now.. I had sexual intercourse about 2 weeks ago! The first few days afterward, I was itchy and irritated downstairs. Not inside, but on the outside. It s not so much itchy now, but its irritated, and I have a reddish, orangish discharge. I am due to be on my period, so I assumed it was something like that, but now there is not red discharge, its mainly a beige color? I need answers, please and thank you!

Hi, I have gone through your question. Itching and irritation in the genital are along with the vaginal discharge is suggestive of vaginal infection.
The discharge can be orangish or pinkish.
I would suggest you to get a vaginal swab examination done to detect the infection and get treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
