and what did I do wrong?

I am assuming this is a vaginal bacterial infection?
This is caused by a disturbance in your sensitive ph balance. It is very common and treatable. It does not mean you are a dirty person or a slut... cause I've heard both of those reasons.... although a lot of sex and not washing can cause it. There are lots of other things that cause it too like bad diet and lack of sleep, stress, different types of antibiotics (like for a bladder infection or bronchitis), or keeping it too hot down there or wearing synthetic (like silky undies) underwear or undies that are too tight or even thong underwear can cause the area to become irritated, leading to an infection.
There is a simple solution.
1. Over the counter cream like Monistat that you insert vaginally.
2. Go to the Dr. and get a prescription for Diflucan... 99.9% of the time you will not have to submit to a vaginal exam... just tell the Dr. your symptoms and they will generally write you a RX for Diflucan, which is a strong antibiotic in pill form. It will clear up any infection quickly and is a lot less messy then the cream.
Good luck

Probably nothing. Any part of the body can get a bacterial infection. Follow your Dr's advice and stay as clean as possible and rest until it clears up.

The first thing you should do is see your GP.
Keep the area clean, bacteria's favourite breeding ground are warm, moist conditions. So wear cotton underwear to for ventilation too.
Above all don't worry, your doctor will prescribe you something that will get rid of it quickly.
Don't be embarassed either, they're there to help and have seen it all before.
Good luck

Drink lots of water, It flushes the bacteria out of your body along with other toxic things that you have accumulated over the years

Drink lots of water to flush out your system (8-8oz a day) and eat yogurt. It will kill the bacteria.
