Don't worry doesn't sound too serious.
Could just be a slight yeast infection....having any itching too?
It's a hot and humid time of year too, so it simple makes it hard to stay "shower fresh" all day. Take frequent baths, use some powder, Shower to Shower has a great vanilla lavender powder that is great for this type of situation.
Try douching with just plain warm clean water, sometimes this can help. Also if you get the opportunity, such as in the privacy of your bedroom with the door locked, try not to wear any panties and even spread your legs slightly and let a light fan blow on you. A doctor told me this is the best way to prevent and help cure a yeast infection. Wetness can be the enemy sometimes. If all else fails go to see a doctor. Best of luck to you.

I think I'm the first to suggest that it absolutely does NOT sound like a yeast infection. There's another type of infection called bacterial vaginosis (BV) which much more closely matches the types of symptoms you're describing. Yeast infections don't smell, BV often does, yeast produces thick white discharge, BV is usually yellowish and watery. Yeast itches like a MOTHER, while BV can just be irritating. So please DO NOT go out and buy any yeast infection medicines. They won't help and will probably just irritate it worse. Go see your doctor, she'll be able to tell for sure what it is and prescribe antibiotics if it's BV. And don't worry, BV is not an STD, just an overgrowth of the bacteria that are naturally in your lady parts.

Sounds like you have a yeast infection, fairly common thing for women, unfortunately. Its caused by too much moisture, like wearing a bathing suit all day for example. Or sometimes, when you are on antibiotics, it can be a side effect of the medication to get an infection. Talk to your mom, and then get some Monistat 3 from the drugstore and you'll feel better.

Being that im a guy i woul say see a doctor they would be able to checck and make sure your healthy and whether you are or not they woul be able to prescribe something to take care of your feminie odor. My ex had that too and there are female sanitary wipes and other products that help you smell fresh down there, oh and dont be embarrassed it happens from time to time. Sorry if it didnt help without a vagina of my own thats all i can tell you. Good luck.

You sound like you might have a slight yeast infection. Go to the store and buy Monostat. The dirrections are on the box.
You should probably tell Mom. Don't worry all women get them from time to time. It is not the result of anything you did wrong.

If it is a bad smell you need to see the doc. You should not be using soap in the vaginal area though as this is a self cleaning oriface. You mentions burning at times so go see your doc to be sure everything is ok.

Sounds like a yeast infection. See a doctor-gynecologist or go to a pharmacy and get some treatment

Go to your doctor, it could be a bladder infection. They can tell that just from a urine sample. If it's bacterial vaginosis, your doctor will give you a quick pap smear, and let you know the results in a couple of days.

You should try some vagisil by getting a perscription from your doctor. Just say I'm getting weird discharge that burns from you know where, and I was wondering if you could prescribe me something to help. It should work!

Honey i think you should go see a doctor.....I know it's embaressing but it is best to be safe than sorry. You can't be too careful with things these days (trust me). There could be a bit more to it than meets the eye. Doctors are there to help...if you are self conscious than go see a female doctor some have bulk billing if your finances are stretched. Trust me babe it's not worth the risk.
