i have these bumps on my vaginal area, and they are really itchy and hurt. i don't want to tell my mom because in 3rd grade i told her i was hurting there before and she took me to the doctor and i had to take off my clothes, she said they weren't going to touch me and they were going to get a nurse to do it. but a guy did it, so i felt really violated and i don't want it to happen again. I'm also afraid it might be from maybe masturbating, or i might have herpes or gential warts, how am i suppose to tell my mom that? how do you get them? %-)
It is the best thing to be honest with your mom-no one wants you to be well more than ur parents. Plus, it is your health and peace of mind that is in question here. So, please, do not diagnoze yourself,tell your mom what;s going on and go see a doctor. I understand that it is sort of uncomfortable to be checked by a male doctor especially in your age but doctor is doctor and he is there to help u. One day, when u mature more, you will realize how silly you were as to go through that worrying just because of that. Whatever it is, you need to know it and if treat it, if there is a need. I wish you all the best!

I know that being 13 is very scary and being checked out by a male nurse or gynecologist is a very frightful thing but it's for your own health...you can always request a female nurse or female gynecologist to due your examine. The only way to get herpes or genital warts is through sexual intercourse with a male partner and if you have had sexual intercourse and test positive for a STD (sexual transmitted disease) then you know need to inform the partner or partners that you have been with. I know that your mom will be slightly disappointed but she worries about your health and safety. Plus you will feel better telling someone that loves you what's going on...hope that very comes out ok
