Hi I need help! I am almost 19 years old and i have had sex a few times for a while now, probably about six months or so I have had an extremely emberassing odor coming from my Vagina. I dont know what to do. It doesnt smell fishy, but it does smell gross and its really emberassing because I can smell it when im sitting in the living room, and its very strong when I urinate. I am scared and emberassed to go to the doctor, mostly because i am living with my boyfriend and his mom so I would have to tell them, to get a ride to the doctor. Also I get cramps like if i was on my period but worse. I usually feel exhausted and cant walk for long without getting tired and out of breath, but I am also overweight and its impossible for me to lose weight! I try to eat healthy with what we have available and I used to drink a dr pepper everyday, but now I am not drinking it everyday and I am slowly cutting Soda out of my diet completely! If anyone can halp it would be very much appreciated! Also I dont have medical coverage yet but I am currently working on that, so anything that can be done from home would be wonderful! Thank you!
I understand Its very emberrasing, I am going through the same thing. First go get a PAP test it sounds like Trichomoniasis its one of the most common STDs, good thing it can get cured, but if not taken care of in can cause infertility and if you do get pregnat you can transfer it to your baby. Also if you do have this condition then so does your boyfriend, except in men the symptoms are asymptomatic, so he doesnt feel anything except it eventually will go to his prostate and the he'll have problems with urination. I currently got tested and self diagnosed myself with this STD, Im waiting on my results and im praying that its Trichomoniasis.
