Question

and what could i do to fix it besides going to a doctor

Answer 1

You more than likely have a yeast infection. You can go to your local drug store and pick up some over the counter medication, such as Monistat. Also, while treating yourself with the medication, if you are sexually active, try to avoid sex, or at least use a condom. A yeast infection can be spread to your partner, and the medications you are using can become ineffective. You may want to pick up some creams also, such as Vagisil for the outer irritation.

Answer 2

I think it might be a yeast infection or vaginitis.. If you haven't already, take a bath. When I feel that way, all I can think of is how much I want a shower or something lol. I heard that the bacteria found in yogurt and that things found in cranberry juice helps. :]

Answer 3

probably a yeast infection -- worth trying an over the counter cream. if you're sexually active though it could be something worse like herpes... as much as that sucks, it's better to know that not know.
