hi Im a 'female teen' and in need of some very important advice :/
a little gross.....but..For a few months now Ive had a brown vaginal discharge with a strong odor. Im not sexually active, and I do not take any medication. Im afraid to go to a gynocologist for the first time so I figured it would go away with time, but its only getting worse, I know I should probably see a gyno, but Im looking for a way outta this besides taking that route...sometimes it gets all over my legs and comes at various unexpected times of the day...its very annoying and it makes me so uncomfortable at school because of the odor. Normally these things do NOT happen to me at all, I have inpecible hygiene, shower every day, and I eat right. i have no idea how this happened!!!!!!!!!!! sorry for writing a novel for you, but if you have any ideas at all PLEASE PLEASE let me know
*Thankyou SO very very much* (link)

Hi! Thanks for writing to me. I'm glad you did. It sounds like you probably have some kind of infection. The fact that the discharge you've described has a strange color, strong odor, and has only gotten worse over time is a big tip off here.
Infections can happen regardless of your sexual status or how clean you keep yourself. But more importantly, they can also get drastically worse with time. I'm not trying to scare you, but the fact is that an infection can be treated much easier in its early stages than it can at a later point.
But you say you're afraid to go to the gynocologist? I was nervous before I went, too -- but when I actually got there, I found it wasn't that big of a deal. Remember that the doctor is there to help you, not hurt you. I sincerely hope you'll go to the gyno as soon as you can, for the sake of your health, and your peace of mind, as well!
If you'd like to know more about what actually goes on in the gynocologist's office, just ask and I'll be happy to give you the full lowdown.
Best of luck!
