Home / Answered Questions / Hi. I had unprotected sex 9 days ago and yesterday I had a large amount of thick, grey vaginal discharge that did not smell. My labia were slightly swollen and red. I feel slightly itchy and it does not burn when I pee. Since then I have not had much discharge, but it is still uncomfortable. Today the discharge looks more like a yeast infection, with white curds but it still does not smell.I definitely feel like I have an sti, and am wondering if I should come in right away even if the symptoms seem to have disappeared?

Hi, thanks for writing in with your concerns. It would be a good idea to have your symptoms checked out at and STI clinic and even if it seems they are starting to go away, you can have and testing and treatment done if needed there. If you are in contact with the person you had sex with, then it would be a good idea if you both were tested and treated if needed.
