    Question

    hi, i have a really bad discharge and it smells a little. i go to the doctor all the time, and usually i dont have anything but bacterial infect or yeast infection. i get it cleared, but it's still there, could the discharge and smell be coming from my boyfriend when he ejaculates inside of me? what can i do to make it go away?

    Answer

    Repeated bacterial infections and yeast infections suggest that you are being reinfected by your partner. He needs to be tested for sexually transmitted infections, even if he has no symptoms, and using condoms would reduce these infections.
