Vaginal health, wits end!

I've had ongoing issues with my vaginal health for some time now, I'd say it's increased recently. The main issue is change in discharge, being the smell or colour etc and I note it worsens after intercourse. I sometimes also get bloating, a stabbing pain and pain during intercourse.

I've had 3 sets of swabs this year for the usual checks and all came back negative. I've not changed partner, washing power, underwear brand and obviously I am a clean person and I don't use perfumed soaps or douche etc.

The GP have been good in letting me come in for physical checks and swabs but they said there's nothing further they can do so they've referred me to the hospital for scans and more invasive checks. This referral was put in back in December and I'm still without an appointment, I'm at my wits end. The GP have chased this up.

I just can't continue like this, it is awful and so uncomfortable going around thinking you smell and having to change liners due to the increase. Google says bad things, so I am trying not to, but has anyone had similar?
