im worried
I am 19, i have only had sex 3 times with my boyfriend, he has been my one and only but it has been 2 weeks since the last time we had intercourse ( we had unprotected sex because i am on birth control) and the area surrounding my vagina has been very very sensitive and soar it is very uncomfortable and red, it hurts to wipe after i urinate and when my underwear rubs against it. i have had an increase in discharge with a fishy smell, i also experienced severe cramps for the first time ever during my last period.
A fishy smell is a sign of infection and you should make a doctor's appointment to get checked. Hope it goes well.
