Question

im only 13..and it smells like something just died there. Anyone else has this problem?

Answer 1

You may have a yeast infection.

Go see your doctor or if you don't have one go to the drugstore and purchase monostat or a generic version and use that.

You should also purchase some cranberry juice or cranberry pills (in the vitamin eisle) it helps keep the area healthy when you drink the juice or take the pill.

You can also wash frequently and wear panty liners found in the tampon eisle. Putting some body powder like shower to shower in your underwear will also help with the smell.

Nothing to worry about-it's normal.

Answer 2

No matter what others are saying, that might be normal for you. That area does not smell good. The odor is different for everyone.
1. Take some type of personal wet wipes with you and use them when you go to the bathroom.
2. Wear a pantiliner everyday to keep the odor from getting on your underwear.
Some people might advise douching. Don't do that.

Answer 3

Time to ask mom to take you to the doctor. You might just have a yeast infection or something simple butt a bad smell usually means somethings badd. The sooner the better. If you aren't comfortable talking to mom , go to planned parenthood their not just there for pregnancy and birth control they do check ups too.

Answer 4

there are a number of reasons that this may happen. my best advice is talk to your mom and tell her what is going on. ask her to take you to the doctor. They will ask if your sexually active and you might be afraid to answer this if you are but my advice to you is if you are then you need to be taught how to handle this. Obviously you have not been taught how to properly care for yourself and need someone to show your or tell you. If you don't get this taken care of it can cause you not only alot of embarassment until you get it taken care of but could potentially cause some sort of permenant damage. I am a mother of 5 young daughters and I know that I would want my daughter to come and talk to me. Just remember that your parents love you no matter what mistakes you may have made!

Answer 5

Go see a gyn, you didn't state if u r a virgin or not. But its wise to see a doctor anyway . Every female has some type of scent down there but it depends on how strong it is. If it is stong, go see a doctor asap cause that may be an indication of a vaginal infection.

Answer 6

Are you sexually active is the first question? But either way you should see a doctor, talk to your mom about it. You may just have a yeast infection and that can be helped very easily.

Answer 7

You need to be treated with antibiotics for this. If you are not sexually active you can still get bacterial vaginosis. There is really nothing you can do for your odor until you get this treated. Douching will only make it worse.
Tell your mom and get a doctors appointment.

Answer 8

you might have gotten some bacteria when you were wiping after having a bowel movement. remember, wipe front to back. feces (poo) has bad bacteria (ecoli) that can cause you to have an infection. tell your mom, aunt, sister someone that u might have an infection from this. its o.k. they won't think bad of you. and u can go to your hometown primary doctor. he can handle it. good luck.....& GOD bless u.

Answer 9

No can't say that I do.
You need to go to the dr. and they can test you for some infections or bacteria and then you will get medicine (antibiotics) to treat this...doesn't sound too pleasant.
Talk to your mom.

Answer 10

Its REALLY REALLY important that you see your doctor. I realize that people are telling you to do silly things and put things inside yourself...do NOT. Please see a doctor, and get it taken care of soon. The vagina is a self cleaning organ, and if its not cleaning itself, its because something is wrong. Good luck!
