Yeast? Herpes? STD?: Where exactly is the pain? If external, i.e. labia or vaginal opening, I would be most concerned about a local infection, like herpes or yeast. If deeper inside, maybe an ovarian cyst, endometriosis, or an STD like gonorrhea or chlamydia. Of course STDs depend on risk, e.g. if either or your partner has other partners. See a doctor or clinic or clinic ASAP for exam and testing.
