I'm 14 and I think i have Bacterial Vaginosis!

yea it is surely awefull and i want 2 get rid of it., it can also prevent u from gettin pregnant which is not good at all......

I 'M 20 AND I HAVE THE SAME THING I HAVE IT OVER 5 YEARS NOW AND ITS NOT GOING TRYING TO GET RID OF IT..

I'm 14 as well :( I've had it for a few months and still can't pluck up the courage to tell my mum.

Hi I am 13 and I think I have BV too. I'm so so scared. Um, I'm ashamed to say I masturbate (Or have) and if I continue could it make it worse and could it be the cause? I heard it's caused by smoking (I dont) sexual stuff (I'm a virgin!! im just 13!) and douching- washing ur vagina too well. I think I did that. What should I do if I call my dr. they might tell my mum! I'm so ashamed, and I can smell a fishy smell every now and then, especially when I get nervous or do exercise or something. But, can others smell it like I can? If they can't then FAB!!!!! If they can, I just... I... Don't know. Please, someone help me. I've been too scared to ask this on any other site. So please help.... if i dont treat it, what'll happen?!!? ..thanks. p.s. dont judge me...

Ugh, I have this too and I'm 14. I've had bv for a few years actually and I've just thought it was normal, but then I realized it wasn't. I've been too scared to tell anyone about this other than my boyfriend and he said I should just tell my mom or my stepmom about it because if I don't it'll get worse. I haven't told them yet because I've been too scared but I did look up some home remedies and it said a number of things. Here's a link for a website I found for home remedies:

I've just started trying one of the remedies today and I'm hoping it works because having bv is just really embarrassing. It sucks so bad >.

Help! I think I have this to but I'm too scared to tell my mum! It's smells fishy sometimes and abit red!:/ I don't know what to do help?!

I'm kind of worried... See I'm 13 nearly 14 and I think I have vaginitis, and I think it's because of bacteria or whatever. Normally I would go see my mum but I'm scared because I think it's because I orgasm, and if the doctor says that then well, I just don't really want my mum to know it's really embarrassing! I want to try and cure it but I don't really wanna see a doctor... Not quite sure how... Someone help :) and Please tell me if you know what I mean XD xx

Hi guys. I'm a Medical Scientist and a mum. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is caused by an imbalance of the bacteria normally present in the vagina. In women with BV, the normal healthy bacteria (in particular, lactobacilli) are replaced by an overgrowth of other mixed bacteria. If you have no symptoms, treatment is usually not required. You should receive treatment if you have symptoms or your doctor has noticed signs of bacterial vaginosis. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial vaginosis. You need to see the doctor. Just tell your mum that you're a bit concernened about the unusual discharge and want to have it checked out (prob it's nothing, just give you a peace of mind). If she wants more details, just say that you're not comfortable to discuss with her and rather discuss with a female GP. If you live with your dad, just tell him that you need to see a GP for some girl stuffs. Nicely ask her/him to wait outside while you're seeing the doctor. You can have your own medicare card when you're 15 so this would help when you want to see the doctor. But don't wait that long & don't let the infection spread. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Omg i'm literally having the same problem...in school its horrible and really really embarressing..

Hi I think you should just see the doctor and tell your dad I need to go to the doctors it's a girl issue so I want to get a check up, your dad will understand, then you tell the doctor and go to whatever place you need to go. If you don't want your dad to know what it is exactly tell the doctor that you don't want her to tell your dad what it is exactly

try hydrogen peroxide its a home remedy . im 13 also and i have the same problem ive been to the doctors twice ... they gave me anobiotics and it didnt work ... idk how to get rid of this .. i see this was one year ago so please try to reply back if u found a cure

I have the same problem but I'm almost 13  and I only have my mom and I'm to scared to tell her....how do I tell her

I am 18 and literally have had it for the past few months, I ended up going to my doctor and they took swabs and that's what is came back as (Bacterial Vaginosis).
I ended up getting my partner to go pick up my prescription in which is a 7 day long pill that you have to take 3 times daily with food and water, but taking this pill causes you so much nausea and pain especially if you take it after eating, I am now on my 5th day of taking this pill *forgot to take it this morning* but it has literally cleared up both the smell and discharge!! It is a life saver :)
I would recommend that you go to your doctor and ask to have swabs done and to go on a medication that can clear it up.
The side effects are horrible, but well worth it!

I HOPE THAT HELPS!! ccc;

Omg me to can u help me

Same :-( its really hard to tell my parents and I have to go to school like this.
