I asked yesterday about my greenish yellow discharge. Well today it is yellow.?

Question

I am scared to tell my mom about it cause she'll think right off the back that i'm having sex. What should I do? I'm not sexually active. This was gonna be my first time and now i'm scared to lay with anyone else. Also, it doesn't burn and i haven't been itching so what do ya'll think or know that it is??

Answer 1

Sounds like trichomoniasis or BV - Bacterial vaginosis. Sounds to me like you have been active. You wouldn't assume that it was an STD if you aren't active. Bite the bullet and go to your mom. It may be something as simple as a yeast infection (you don't have tp be sexually active to get one.) But either way you want to get it checked before it becomes something else.

It's very important to see a doctor or go to a teen clinic if you have any of the symptoms of abnormal vaginal discharge. This is really important for girls who have had sex, especially those who have had sex without using a condom.

Answer 2

Any changes in color or amount of discharge may be a sign of a vaginal infection. Vaginal infections are very common; most women will experience some form of a vaginal infection in their lifetime. If you experience any of the symptoms below, this may be a sign of vaginal infection:

Discharge accompanied by itching, rash or soreness

Persistent, increased discharge

Burning on skin during urination

White, clumpy discharge (somewhat like cottage cheese)

Grey/white or yellow/green discharge with a foul odor
TRICHOMONIASIS

This infection is caused by a one-celled protozoan organism. Trichomoniasis is almost always spread through sexual contact. However, the protozoan organism can survive for up to twenty-four hours in a moist environment, making wet towels or bathing suits possible instruments of transmission from someone with the infection.
Most men and some women don't display any symptoms, which may include . . . . .

Yellow/green, frothy, discharge

Foul odor with discharge

Increased amount of discharge

Increased frequency of urination

Inflammation of vulva/vagina

Itching

you have caught that through sex..The treatment used is the oral antibiotic, metronidazole. Remember - no alcohol consumption when taking the medication and for 48 hours after treatment! It is recommended that both partners be treated at the same time to avoid recurrent infections. Partners should be treated even if they aren't displaying any symptoms. Avoid intercourse until treatment is completed.you have trich

Answer 3

Answer 6

Go to Planned Parenthood. You can get tested, treated, whatever. And it's confidential. And next time...use a condom! You might get something you can't get rid of.

Answer 7

FOOLS FOOLS FOOLS ! Why would zebragirl lie to us when we dont know her !!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHE HASNT HAD SEX !!!!!!!!!!

Vaginal Infection Causes

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginitis, accounting for 50% of cases. BV is caused by a change in the bacteria normally found in the vagina and causes an overgrowth of organisms such as Gardnerella vaginalis.


Risk factors include pregnancy, intrauterine device (IUD) use, and frequent douching. It is associated with sexual activity, possibly a new sexual partner or multiple sexual partners. Women who have never had sexual intercourse are rarely affected.


You do not get BV from toilet seats, bedding, or swimming pools.


In the United States, as many as 16% of pregnant women have BV. This varies by race and ethnicity from 6% in Asians and 9% in whites to 16% in Hispanics and 23% in African Americans.


Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida albicans. This is also called candidiasis, genital candidiasis, or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Yeast infection can spread to other parts of the body including skin, mucous membranes, heart valves, esophagus, and other areas. It can cause life-threatening systemic infections mostly in people with weakened immune defenses (such as women who are pregnant and people who are HIV positive, have diabetes, or are taking steroids).


Nearly 75% of all adult women have had at least one genital yeast infection in their lifetime. Vaginal yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, but 12% to 15% of men will develop symptoms such as itching and penile rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.


Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of normally growing fungi in the vagina that creates unpleasant symptoms. The yeast are kept under control by normally growing bacteria in the body. If the natural balance of microorganisms is disrupted, the yeast grow out of control. It is not clear how fungal infections originate, but they are not thought to be sexually transmitted. Your own natural bacteria cause this type of infection when an imbalance occurs, possibly caused by any of these events:


Antibiotics use: Antibiotics destroy protective bacteria in the vagina. These bacteria normally stop the candidal organisms from overgrowing. Yeast infection may occur after you have taken a course of antibiotics for another condition such as strep throat.


Diabetes: Both diabetes and pregnancy make the vagina better suited for fungal growth. These conditions lower the glycogen store in certain vaginal cells. They may also raise the sugar content (and the pH) of the vagina and put you at risk for yeast infection.


Excessive alcohol


Birth control pills: Changes in the vaginal environment occur with increased hormonal levels from estrogen-containing birth control pills. This change creates an environment for the candidal fungus to grow and cause symptoms.


Hormonal changes such as ovulation, menopause, or pregnancy


Steroid use


Weakened immune system: HIV/AIDS, for example


Wearing underwear that is tight or non-cotton: This can increase temperature, moisture, and local irritation.


Use of douches, perfumed feminine hygiene sprays


Scratches in the vagina (during insertion of a tampon or other objects)


Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease (also called trich, pronounced "trick") caused by a parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis is primarily an infection of the urinary and genital tract. For women, the vagina is the most common site of infection. For men, the urethra is most commonly affected.


Other causes of vaginal infection may be because you could be allergic to spermicides, vaginal hygiene products, and detergents and fabric softeners you use to wash your clothes. You may also have a different sexually transmitted disease. Older women may experience atrophic vaginitis (a thinning of the vaginal walls with menopause). You may have forgotten to remove a tampon, or another foreign object may be in your vagina causing irritation.
