I think I might have an infection...........down there........I slept with a guy a few weeks ago, it was just a one night stand and I didn't use any protection but I'm on the pill.
Anyway, now I have a weird discharge and it's really itchy down there. I've also got some pelvic pain and it burns when I go to the toilet.
I'm really embarrassed, I'm not usually like that, I'm in a relationship just now but me and my bf had a huge arguement and I went out and got drunk and ended up going back with this guy. I'm so paranoid I've caught something and passed it on to my bf. What do I do? I don't want to go to my GP because he's friends with my parents and I'm scared he'd tell them. Can I buy anything at the chemist to get rid of it?

This sounds like an STD. Go to a doctor you trust and get checked out.

Your doctor cannot tell anyone about what was said within the doctors room, it is illegal for him/her to do so – if you have an infection, if you have had unprotected sex you HAVE to go to a doctor, not just for your own health but also the health of your boyfriend because if you do have an STD then have unprotected sex with him you would pass on whatever you have.
Chances are it is just a case of a yeast infection, these can be treated at home but unless you know for sure it is not advised, and again I cannot say this enough, if you have not been practicing safe sex then you could very well have an STD you do not know about.
If you cannot be responsible then you simply should not be having sex, to ignore this is irresponsible and selfish.

Yes,dear.
You definitely have an infection -most probably Trichomoniasis,since there's an itchy discharge and pelvic pain.This condition is in itself not too dangerous;mostly uncomfortable.You need to do some tests to rule out other more dangerous conditions like gonorrhoea and Chlamydia.
Try not to scratch or wash with cosmetic soap as this is alkaline and will make the itching worse .
Go to your doctor and take a full course of antibiotics.
Good luck.

go 2 gp, u do not have 2 see the one you are registered with, anyone from your practice will see you. And its against patient confidentiality to tell anyone about it. If u still dont want to go to gp, go to a GUM clinic. Sounds like u have a STD. ALWAYS use a condom, and I cant believe you still slept with your bf after, you obviously dont have respect for yourself or him. And if you are scared your parents will find out, are you sure you are mature enough to be having sex?

If you don't want to go to the doctor, go to a sexual health clinic. They are likely to do a swab and give you anti-biotics. It really does sound as though you have an infection. You can find your nearest sexual health clinic in the yellow pages, or by phoning NHS direct.
Incidently, your GP is not allowed to discuss ANYTHING you tell him with ANYONE! If he were to tell your parents and you reported him he would have hell to pay and would be at risk of losing his job. THerefore he won't say anything.

You need to go to your GYN and have them test you for STD's. You should not continue to hope it will go away. If you do have something, it could be getting worse the longer you wait to get it treated. Also, if you do find out that you have an STD, you have to tell your BF so he can get tested as well. And remember, in the future condoms are very important.

Sounds very much like Thrush but go to gineto urinary clinic to get checked out and be treated. There is no shame it was unfortunate accident but protect yourself in future. No offence but you should keep condoms because its not often us blokes carry them. It is in all fairness all our responsibility. Come on guys show some respect eh?

go to the local general hospital
better still phone first and ask where the special clinic is , so you dont have to ask when you get there where it is
then go there they will be verry friendly and helpfull
everything is confidential
they will do tests to see if you have caught anything
everything is private between you and the doctors.
no one else will know you have been there
