You should go to the doctor.  You can either go to a free clinic that most cities have, although you might have to endure a long wait in a waiting room.\nOr try to sign up for your state's Medical Assistance (MA) plan of free or subsidized health insurance coverage.

I believe the virus is called vaginitis.  It can be cured with medication.  You could just have a mild UTI.  I would definitely go to the doctor.

Go to the doctors, fluffyfemale sounds right but just to make sure that you haven't got an infection check with your GP.

Oh dear!  You really think doctors are using Yahoo Answers?!  You've got more problems than vaginal problems.  Seriously, please see your doctor.  See a different doctor for a second opinion, but DO NOT SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE FROM HERE!

go to a dr.  Tell your mom its for something else.  Go in by yourself and let your dr know at the time of your visit you dont want your mom to know.  By law your dr cant discuss any sexual problems/issues with your parents even though you are a minor..  if you  cant go to the dr right away call and leave a mess to call you back when your mom is not home.  This could lead to other problems so go right away.  It also sounds like you could have a major infection and if not treated right away could lead to you being sterile

I would definitely see a gynocologist, you could have an underlying problem that should be addressed.  I wish you well.

hey hun, as weird as this is, i'm going through the EXACTLY same problem! my bf and i went on a break, and we both met other people, then we got back together, and I was noticing some weird stuff about my body, and get checked, and he did too just in case, he had Chlamydia and I had some Fungus infection.  The doc gave him Chlamydia anit biotics..and mine doc gave me the same things, just in case, as well is a treatment for my infection.  so, it IS possible for you to not get it from him, especially cause me and my bf had sex without a condom and, i still didn't get it.weird eh? but yes, it's possible..just let your doc know you want the meds for chlamydia..hope i could help!

I did the same and didn't want to go to the doctor and ended up going anyway.... This is what he told me to do..\n\n\n1. Soak it in warm water for about 5 to 10 minutes. (adding something to the water is not necessary)!\n\n2. Dry it really well.\n\n3. Take some Hydrogen Peroxide put some on a Q-tip and apply it to the affected area.\n\n4. Rinse off the peroxide. Dry really well (blow dryer suggested) but not necessary.\n\n5. Next you will need to have some (Betadine) (Povidone Iodine Topical Solution). Take another q-tip dip it in and apply to the toe making sure you cover the whole affected area. \n\n6. Dry with a blow dryer to make sure it is really dry! The only time it should be covered with a band-aid or gauze is if you have your shoes on.. The more air it gets the better..\n\n7. This will have to be done three times a day.\n\nIf you do this it will get better and you shouldn't have to go to the Doc.  This is what i did and it worked!...It will take a while since you waited so long, but it will get better.\nThe nail will have to grow out before you can do anything about it.  When you trim your nails let them stick out a little not too much....This will help.  I know from experience this is no fun so....Good Luck!! :-)\n\nHope this helps you!\n\nIf you do all of this it should go away!\n\nHope this works for you! Hope you feel better!\n\n\nForgot to mention that it was really bad and infected and the doctor told me that if it didn't work i would have to have the toenail removed.  This really worked because i didn't have any surgery at all and the doctor was impressed that it ended up getting better with no surgery!  It was really puffy also.  Again good luck!!

I would get a new doctor or see an OB GYN to get a different approach.  Your doctor should be able to give you prescription cream that is stronger than over-the-counter.  Also once your infection is treated, wash your underwear in hot water..and always wear cotton.

Tell her: \nCotton underwear, loose pants, drink cranberry juice, go easy on the junk food, particularily anything sweet or superfatty, wash with mild soap and water, but do not wash inside the vaginal canal, she could upset the PH balance even more. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, it is a very easily upset balance. Also, if she is using tampons, get the unscented ones and only as absorbent as she needs them. If she is sexually active, the activity needs to end until she is cleared up.\nTry getting a tube of Vagisil instead of just the wipes, and go to a doctor. She should only use medications or treatments if a doctor has diagnosed it as a yeast infection.

Home remedy wise...\nI've heard garlic (no honestly) LOL up the yoohaw woks for yeast, and works like a charm for the pain and discomfort. \n[[[Garlic\n\nGarlic contains natural anti-fungal substances that kill off yeast and should be added to the diet.  It may also be used internally.\n\nMethod\n\n    * Wrap an unpeeled clove of garlic in gauze or cheesecloth tying the ends with unwaxed dental floss, leaving a bit of string dangling to pull it out afterward\n    * Leave it in for several hours at a time\n    * Use nightly until after symptoms cease\n\n ]]]]\nBut you need something prescription to actually CURE the infection, if not it's just going to keep on coming back and with a vengeance.\nAlso natural yogurt helps, both by inserting into the vagina and also by eating it, no not after..I mean fresh yogurt LMAO\n\n\nMyself I've used Monistat 3 day, it cures and helps itch and burning, some also comes with an external  cream.\n\nBelow is an AWESOME link for you, don't let the name scare ya. LOL\n\nGoodluck.. :) YI are the devil.

Well, there's a IUD which is inserted into your cervix by a doctor and which stays there until it is removed, there are diaphragms which you insert into your vagina before sex, there's spermicide you can use inside your vagina before sex (although this is not a really surefire way to prevent pregnancy it does help a little), or you could get the birth control shot or use the birth control patch or even birth control ring.  There's also not having vaginal intercourse.  Don't listen to anyone who responds saying "the rhythm method" or "pulling out" works, because they really  don't at all.  That's all I can think of right now, good luck!

That's not a question.  GO TO THE DOCTOR.
