For the past week my vagina has been feeling very weird for lack of a better word. I thought it was just hurting but somehow I realized that it has been itching extremely bad! There's also a weird odor accompanied with the itching, it doesn't smell fishy, just unusual. Around the vaginal opening is extremely sore (like it's cut or torn). I last had sex around the same time this started (I don't know if that helps), well the pain around the opening and I have been getting something like a period for about the past month now, up to and including today.
I am going to my doctor for a emergency consultation in the morning but I would still like and appreciate any knowledge anyone has to offer! Thanks, a concerned student.

Based on the symptoms you have, especially with the odor it sounds like you could have an infection called bacterial vaginosis.
The pain around the vaginal opening could have something to do with a painful condition called vulvodynia.

It could be many things but in my case i didn't have an odor but my vagina was sore & itching & it hurt when i went to the toilet. This also started after i had sex and when the doctor examined me he found a small cut near the entrance of my vagina which he prescribed a vaginal cream for & it cleared up in no time!
Good Luck~~~

Up until the bleeding for a month, it sounded like a yeast infection. It's possible you've picked up an STD. Going to your doctor is the right choice. Good Luck.

That sounds like a yeast infection/bacterial infection.
Don't worry.
Your doctor will probably give you cream and pills for a week to 10 days. You will feel better immediately.

I agree, this sounds like a yeast infection. They have an OTC test for yeast infection now. I see the commercial all the time now. You should be able to get it at any drugstore. Hope everything turns out fine.

Sound like your run of the mill Yeast Infection. Your MD will give you something for the pain and itch as well as a medication to clear it up.

Maybe you have an infection? Who knows? Good youre going to the doctor so you can find out but I seriously wouldn't know what it is. I think you will get better answers from the doctor =) good luck!
