Question
I recently have had sex for the first time and now I have a white cottage cheese like discharge and it is sometimes itchy what could it be? the sex was unprotected could it be an std?
Answer
The only way to know for sure is to be checked out by a doctor - and since you are sexually active now, it is time to start a reliable method of birth control, and make a promise to yourself that you will not have unprotected sex - it puts you at risk for sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy!
