    Question

    I have been having a light yellow discharge and I went to the doctor to get treated. He gave me some antibiotics and it went away for a week or so. it has come back and i need to know what is the cause of this. There is no odor, however, intercourse is painful. I only have one partner and he was given antibiotics as well.

    Answer

    It may have come back, so it is important to go back to the doctor, remember not to have sex until you are both treated, and I hate to say it, but if your partner was having sex with anyone else, they would have to be treated, too.
