I've been noticing a blue discharge on my underwear and I'm really not sure what's going on. This isn't the first time it's happened, but I haven't figured out what's causing it. I've tried using Candid ointment, but it hasn't made a difference. Can you help me understand what might be happening?

Blue vaginal discharge isn't typical and might indicate a reaction to products like dyed fabrics, infections, or rare conditions like chromhidrosis. Since Candid ointment hasnt helped, please consult a gynecologist for a thorough checkup and proper diagnosis. Avoid scented products or tight clothing in the meantime.

My vaginal opening is really tight and sex is painful when trying to insert. The doctor mentioned I might need a minor procedure, but I'm wondering if there are other options like medications or non-surgical treatments that could help first

Vaginismus is an involuntary tensing of the vagina. People experience it at the start of sex, while inserting a tampon or while getting a pelvic exam. Vaginismus can make intercourse painful (dyspareunia). Kegels, vaginal dilators and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help relax muscles and stop spasms.
