Q: vaginal bumps and discharge

OKAY. This started about 2 weeks ago. I began to get small pimple like bumps on my genital area but not inside. On my labia, and at the bottom of my vaginal opening. At least 6 just all over, not clustered, just random spots. It began as my period did, I don't really think that's relevent, just thought I'd put it in. But they are all gone, except one I haven't really been giving a chance to heal cause I keep having sex with my bf to which I don't know if he gave it to me cause he has no symptoms. but he still may have it. Anyway we've been being safe.
A few days after it began to slow down and my period began to subside, I began to get strange discharge, but I blew it off as being my vagina just getting the small remainder of my period blood out, cause it's done that before.
But it keeps coming, it's thick and mucus like, with a slight green/yellow tint, and it has a slight odor. I know it's not the normal kind, cause I get a lot of it, and it's making messes on my underpants, and making me smell funny.
I know it's not possible to know without going to a doctor, but I still haven't gotten anywhere close to what it could be, pics, symptoms, nothing will describe my symptoms so I can get an Idea.
BTW i have an appointment but not until the 25th, by then they can't take a culture, and I'll have to settle for a blood test.

What could it be?

don't worry, ur doctor will prolly know just by looking at it. i think if it's green then it's prolly some kinda infection, but that doesn't mean that its a std. just don't worry too much about it until ur doctor appt.

In the operating room, the woman is given either local or general anesthesia. The skin around the vagina is cleaned with a soapy solution to remove any bacteria. A cut is then made in the upper part of the vagina to expose the tissue, such as blood vessels, that surrounds the uterus and cervix. These tissues must be cut and tied off before the uterus is removed. Sutures are placed in these deep structures. These will heal during the weeks following surgery and do not need to be removed. The uterus is removed from the top of the vagina, and the vagina is closed at the top.

The surgery usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. At times, the ovaries and tubes may be removed. Other organs may be repaired or removed at this time if necessary.
