    Question

    My boyfriend and I have been separated by his deployments. Each time he comes home, the first few times we have sex, at least after 2 or 3 times, I have swelling burning when I pee, foul discharge. After no sexual contact for a few days it goes away and everything is fine, it just happens after months of not having sex, then having sex. What's wrong with me!

    Answer

    It is difficult to diagnose your symptoms without an exam. You should make an appointment with your gynecologist to make sure it is not an infection, such as a yeast infection or possible STD.
