According to the symptoms you provided (itching outside of the vagina, frequent urination, white vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain), it is possible that you might be experiencing acute bladder inflammation and/or bacterial vaginosis (vaginal infection of the mucosa). Both conditions might be caused by bacteria transmitted from your partner.
Therefore, you might want to visit your family doctor for a urine laboratory test and urine culture and your gynecologist for a vaginal smear. The results would detect the exact reason. If bacteria are detected, then you might be prescribed antibiotics.
It is very important for your boyfriend to have a urine culture and to undergo the same treatment (antibiotics) as you. Otherwise, once your treatment is over, he might transmit the infection once more.
