My Vagina is swollen and it itches! Help me please
What causes swelling of the vagina, itchiness and white discharge? How do you get rid of it? Please help me i'm only 16 and i'm scared to tell my mother!
Be careful, you may be treating the wrong thing. remember we are not doctors. If you have had sex, it could be an std. If you have not, it could still be an infection. Honestly, women should not have discharge like that.. it could be a yeast infection too. Google your symptoms and see what comes up. In the mean time bathing in water and vinegar will help. Yeast infections are from your ph balance being "off course" the vinegar helps to balance your ph. Yet and still, it would probably be better to go to a doctor. I am 21 years old and have had problems getting pregnant. When I was about 17-18 I ended up with stds that I didn't know about until I was about 20. Those stds caused me to have pid.. I had discharge and swelling.. burning... I also had cysts and a urinary tract infection.. sadly, I was offered to be taken to a doctor at a time that I was too embarrassed to go, I lied and ended up with pid because I let the infections sit there.. pid causes infertility.. I am now healthy, but still am having problems getting pregnant. Surgery can fix the problems with pid, but it Is very expensive. I suggest that you tell your mother, or an adult you feel a little more comfortable with, so that you can get it taken care of by an doctor. Your mother may be more understanding than you think. We are women and for the most part we go through the same things.. she may even be able to help you. I was also told I had cervical cancer.. I was balling my eyes out.. I had no idea of what it was, I just knew what cancer was.. I don't speak to my mother much.. but we ended up talking and it turns out she had it and was able to get it taken care of.. she was able to calm me down and give me the information that I needed.. just please be very careful, we get infections very easily, and the only way to know for sure how to fix it is to go to a doctor..
sounds like a yeast infection, nothing to scared of. it's normal and happens to all women at some point. they are not caused by sex you can get them if you're a virgin. you can get over the counter medication are the pharmacy called monistat, it's a 7 day treatment or have your mom take you to the doctor. you will have to have a pelvic exam, the doctor will swab the discharge in your vagina to be tested. but don't worry, it's nothing serious.
