The only way you'll know is to get swabs done at your GP. Or if you prefer you can go to a GUM clinic which specialise in that area (pardon the pun!).

Can't remember whether or not you need to be referred there, but could be worth a ring to see if you can make an appointment yourself.

I hope someone here can tell you what GUM stands for, i think it is Genito - Urinary - ???

Good luck and i hope it is nothing.

Yeah i second what Fran1 said. Thrush can actualy have that effect as well by the way.

Good luck

Prob not an STD since it's cleared up by itself. Had you tried a different brand of tampon, something scented for example? I would definitely go and get it checked out either way.
