15/f Okay so I keep getting an infection down there..:( It's like really embarrassing it's been on and off for a year now. I know I shouldn't of let it go that long but I'm extremely shy and it's just hard for me to go to a doctor. I think i have bacterial vaginosis. I have like all the symptoms. Is it too late to go to the doctor?? I don't want him to get mad at me for waiting so long to come in and it's getting worse for some reason. What could it be???

Don't worry, it's not too late but you really do need to go. If that is what it is, you will need antibiotics to clear it up.
The doctor has seen it all before and will treat you as though you are showing him a non embarrassing part of the body. He shouldn't get mad at you, as it's understandable that you would feel shy about this.
He may want to do some tests to see why you keep getting this. It could just be that you haven't had it treated correctly originally so it hasn't completely gone away each time.
Over your life time you will need to allow doctors access to this sensitive area many times, so you will (hopefully) get used to it. If there is a female doctor why not ask to see her if it will make you more comfortable?

Look, dont be shy doctors are experienced and they know how it feels to be shy etc. they have lived through it. it doesnt amtter if your shy its just a doctor just checking you for anything wrong. i STRONGLY suggest you go to the doctor asap as it may be a disease or an infection or worse. Do not be shy, its nothing.
