PATIENT PRESENTATION

Chief Complaint

“I’m having some issues with my private parts.”

History of Present Illness

SP is 42-year-old Caucasian female presenting to her primary care provider for the above complaint. For the past seven days, she has experienced moderate vaginal discomfort, described as a burning/itching sensation around her vulvovaginal area, particularly when she urinates. She reports abnormal amounts of thin discharge from her vagina throughout the day. She is most perturbed by the odor and color of the discharge, which is dark yellow and foul smelling. She is recently divorced and is concerned that these symptoms will impact her social life, as she has began to experience pain during vaginal intercourse and is self-conscious of the odor of her discharge. Her last period was 2 weeks ago.
