abnormal symptons: normal or something to worry about?
I am 16 years old and I have missed my period for almost more than 6 months. But during that I have been getting these abdominal pains, which, most of the time, feels minor and i feel little pain. But then there are these huge abdominal pains that hurt so bad i can't even move! It worries me so much. I do have an appointment for a Gyno which is on the 23rd of January but I feel it should be sooner because it sounds so serious to me. People tell me I might have a cyst, but I wonder if my symptoms are related to a possibility of getting/having one? Does anybody have any ideas on what it could possibly be?
And I get really heavy discharge, and it comes out anywhere from a gray color to a yellowish color that smells horribly bad.. so I don't know if that relates to the problems that I have above, but I hope it helps at least somewhat.
But as a note, I do have the option to go to a male Gyno (since the one I made an appt. for is a female), however I am extremely uncomfortable going to one. I would hate to sound sexist (which I am not one), but I would feel my privacy is invaded so I chose not to go to a male. Also, the female Gyno I have is the only female Gyno that covers the insurance that I have in my area (like within 20 miles) so I can't just "go find another one."
.. And no I am not pregnant nor sexually active; I am a virgin.
Thanks in advance!
p.s.- sorry this is really long but i appreciate it for taking the time to read this.

Your reservations about seeing a male Gyno is totally understandable, but please don't let this be a problem if you have the chance to stop yourself worrying sooner than the 23rd January. Male doctors really don't seem to see their female patients as women, they are only interested in the symptoms and the cure. In my experience male gyno's have been more gentle and understanding than the women, (and at my age I've seen a lot!).
No one here is going to be able to correctly diagnose your symptoms as you do need to be seen by a professional, and it would be wrong of us to try.
I do hope you are able to have this problem resolved very soon and that it is easily treated.
Good luck. :)

I once had a cysts, when you go to the gyno, tell them you think you might possibly have one, all they do is give you a ultra sound, and they'll know. Then they have to put you on birth control. =]

Hey,
I am not entirely sure if the discharge is correlated to your periods. And I totally understand about the male gyno making you feel like he is invading your privacy, but if you have no other option but a guy, you have to just suck it up and go. This is your health, and you just cannot risk it.
When I was about 16, I missed my period for a couple of months too, and I was not sexually active either. It turned out to be the fact that I was stressed out, and it affected my period. So if you're in a tense state, it can affect it. Either way, go to the gyno, they will know best.
Good luck
