It could be bacterial vaginosis - primary causes of bacterial vaginosis include an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria and the Gardnerella organism. The healthy vagina includes a small amount of these bacteria and organisms. When the vaginal balance is disrupted by the overgrowth of these bacteria another protective bacterium -- lactobacilli is unable to adequately perform its normal function. Lactobacilli normally provides a natural disinfectant (similar to hydrogen peroxide) which helps maintain the healthy and normal balance of microorganisms in the vagina. The most obvious sign of bacterial infection is an unpleasant foul, often fishy odor. Itching and/or burning sometimes accompany bacterial infections, but are not a required symptom for a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. Other factors which may contribute include hot weather, poor health, poor hygiene, use of an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control.
It could also be an STD, the symptoms are pretty much the same. It is best to let your doctor do an exam and come to the conclusion of what your diagnosis is.
Good luck.

Sounds like an infection. The doctor will confirm or deny this by taking a sample of the discharge from your vagina to have put on a slide and then sent to a lab for further analysis.

Your classes will probable no longer adjust for 2 or 3 years. you're anemic (iron deficiency) and the heavy classes are inflicting this to worsen. be effective you communicate on your wellness care expert approximately this. He could recommend a intense iron and protein weight loss plan, iron pills, or a multivitamin. you additionally can communicate on your mum and dad and wellness care expert approximately start administration. that is utilized to cut back the severity of classes and adjust them. i all started my era at approximately your age and had an extremely no longer basic time with them such as you probably did. in case you do no longer communicate on your wellness care expert and fogeys some plan of action, it is going to interrupt your life each and each month. I actually are transforming into on start administration and it has relatively helped.

It sounds like an infection but when you go to your doc appt, have her do an STD check at the same time. She'll most likely be able to tell what's going on before you leave the office.
