help help

okay, so i’ve been having this problem and i don’t really know how to explain it. i’m 16 and i don’t know how to bring it up to my mom and i’m too scared to see a doctor. like i’ve brought it up to my mom before but idk. but i’ve had like this fishy smell for the last 3 months and i have no clue why, and sometimes my vagina burns or is itchy and i keep thinking it’s a yeast infection or UTI but i don’t think they last this long and i just want it do go away. please help me get home remedies or home advice or just something please cause i honestly do not want to go to the doctor and i have no clue what to do here. i just want it to go away.

I can only think you are afraid to tell your mom because maybe you think she will think you arent a virgin. You can get both UTIs and yeast infections without being sexually active. If that will ease your mind into helping you tell your mom if you need her to get to a dr. Goodness knows, l had UTIs even as a kid. I wipe the wrong way...tmi, but thats what forum we're in. ;) Good luck!

If you know for sure you dont have a yeast infecrion or uti I would suggest taking a bath with a few tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar in it. Wash with a Ph balancing feminine wash( I use vagisil, i used to use summers eve but my vagina seemed to do better with vagisil) Wipe the ski. of your pubic area, never go all the way up in the whole, make sure you rinse off very well. ALWAYS dry off completely and I suggest sleeping without underwear on every night. I got one yeast infection and one uti bed or doing all of This and haven't gotten one in 2 years. Also make sure you are wiping front to back. Make sure you wash pubic hair and massage the skin to prevent clogged pores and trapped smelled in the hair. Drink plenty of water and try to eat more fruit and vegetables. If you do have a yeast infection or uti you may need to go to the doctor to get it treated. Hope this helps.

It's probably some sort of infection. NEVER be afraid to go to the doctor - be excited because it means an END to what you're experiencing! The more you put it off, the worse it could be. Just go to the doctor and get it gone girl.

Bacterial vaginosis, opposite of yeast infection. Don't use scented pads or tampons. Always wear cotton underwear. Never douche bc it messes up your PH.You can get an over the counter medicine for it at the drugstore.

They (yeast infections and uti's) can last for as long as they go untreated. They can even turn into something else if you let them. Yeast infections can be fed through sugar...so if you eat a lot of sugary things, carb, fruit, etc you are feeding it. Uti's can be kept around by bacteria, which your vagina has plenty of, especially if there is an imbalance. If you dont want to talk with your mom, i suggest you do but can't force you, go to a free clinic, get tested and get a straight answer. You dont want this to get worse.
