Ok so I'm 15 now & I think I have bv. I'm scared to tell my mom about it. I have a fishy smell down there & it sometimes itches too. I bathe 2-3 times a day and the smell just comes right back. I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell my mom because it's very embarrassing. It's a strong smell too. I even smell it when I'm at school. Other people smell it too. Should I tell my mom even though I'm scared? Ugh. This is even embarrassing. What do I do?
Hi, I understand you feel embarrassed about telling your mum but if it is bv then you need to get it treated with antibiotics from the doctor so the sooner you tell her the sooner you can get it sorted out :-)
I just found this article on bv on this site so take a read through https://ic.steadyhealth.com/treating-bacterial-vaginosis
