Question
i just had protected sex exactly two day after my peroids stopped but did not check the expiry date of the condoms. now i have this white discharge. it makes my panty wet all the time and sometimes i feel itchy. is it normal? please help asap.
Answer
Sometimes the condoms can cause a reaction by themselves. You could be reacting to the latex. I don't know if other types of condoms are available to you, but you should try those, if you can.
If your partner did not ejaculate into you, then it's unlikely that you have a sexually transmitted infection - unless there is a concern about contact before the condom was on or the condom breaking.
Also - you could just have a bacterial or fungal vaginal infection (not sexually transmitted) just from the act of having sex. Sometimes sex or your period causes the balance of organisms in your vagina to change, and this can lead to an infection.
If you continue to have the discharge, see your doctor for an evaluation.
