Question
I have had severe itching and swelling around my vaginal area and a lot of brown/blackish clotted discharge. I am on birth control, but I have been on it for a period of time. I have not been sexually active for a couple of weeks, but I have always been with the same person. And that person has never been with anybody else. I have researched but haven't found anything that resembles what I am dealing with.
Answer
The only answer possible is that you need to see a doctor. No denial, or reasons why not - please do not delay.
