What is this?

Hi everyone.
I started dating a guy about a year and a half ago. ( im sorry if the this gets a little graphic)
My libia is "longer" then most girls and i feel really weird. I feel like it's an std or something. i have only had sex with 1 person, and he has never had sex with anyone else. Im really worried that something is wrong with me. It sort of smells down there sometimes and i dont know what to do to take care of it!
help please!
im afraid to go to a doctor, im too embarrassed.

odds are these are not std related. if you are concerned, see your provider for a proper exam.

yes i do always use condoms. and i urinate everytime after. there was maybe 1 or 2 times i didnt use a condom. also a few days ago i noticed tiny little white bumps (some bigger then others) on the inside of my labia. i looked it up online, and it said it could be a sweat gland. i really dont think it could be an std? they have probbaly been there for years i just never noticed them. they do not hurt, or itch or anything. neither of my parents have had std's and i have only done anything with just 1 person.

the natural musky odor we all get, isn't always recognized as such by some folks. we are not always smelling fresh as a daisy down yonder especially after our periods and other times of the month as well as just the end of the day sometimes leaves us smelling not so fresh. It's natural!

if you are having burning during sex, try using additional lubrication and see if that helps. Also as a female, always a good idea to make yourself urinate soon after sex to clear out any bacteria that was introduced into your urethra during sex.   do you use condoms?

Your not supposed to have any odors, but it happens a lot when your  sexually active. Your body contains a certain  amount of yeast and bacteria so when it get off balance then you can get a yeast infection or a bacterial infection.

we all have odors sometimes - it's normal!  If you don't have discharge or odor all the time, odds are it's just something normal and nothing worth testing for.

your labia being longer than other women's you have seen is normal for you. we are all built different and it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you dear!  A std would not cause things like that.

If you are starting to have sex,  it's time to go to a gyn and discuss birth control and safe sex!!
