Two issues - maybe tmi

Two issues - the first issue is that I’m most than do for a Pap test (first attempt at one was last year in November) but now I’ve been to my doctor for it twice, and each time there’s too much discharge for them to see cervix so now I’ve gone for two appointments to lie uncomfortably to still now know my results for that and I’m booked in for it now with a gynaecologist at the end of next month! Second issue - itchiness on inner thighs and on outside/front of vagina that is quite uncomfortable at times! I did have to do a swab into my vagina at last Pap smear attempt to rule out any kind of vaginal infection and that came back as negative. Has anyone had either of these experiences before? Several Pap smear attempts due to ‘too much’ discharge or itchiness in same areas and have ideas about why? Thanks!
