To be terrified I’ve got an infection?

Shamelessly posting here for traffic as I’ve worked myself into a bit of a state over this and need advise ASAP. Judge me all you want, I know I’ve been incredibly fucking stupid and I am absolutely mortified but I don’t know what to do.

Was seeing someone casually before the lockdown started, and being the daft cow that I am we had unprotected sex twice. Yesterday I began having green discharge coming out constantly (I’d say the same amount of liquid as I’d get mid-period) and it’s really swollen down there to the point I can’t walk properly as it kills. The discharge also looks like pus to me, so I’m terrified of a serious infection or sepsis. Other than the possibility I’ve caught something, I also suspect I had a very early miscarriage last month, it was around the time my period would have been but it was not a normal period at all, huge clots, intense pain that made me vomit, back agony etc but I assumed it had all passed and never got checked out. I’m concerned some of that retained and is infected? My period came normally this month and I’d just come to the end of it when this other stuff started.

The swelling, pain and constant discharge is making it impossible for me to function properly. I used the Lloyd’s Online Doctor service and filled in the form describing my symptoms and they told me to visit a GP urgently and said their services couldn’t help.

Except I can’t do that at the moment and also all of the sexual health clinics near me are shut. I’m very worried about this and worried there’s an infection further up in my internal organs as I keep getting random abdominal stabby pains and I feel a bit nauseous. What can I do? I definitely don’t want to risk my future fertility or my life by ignoring this.

I hope you get seen swiftly op. I think you could have retained products of pregnancy, it is clearly some sort of infection.
