concerned about whats going on down there
for some backround info, i havent had my period since jan. 17. ii am sexually active with my bf of two years. i went to planned parenthood last week. and they told me im not pregnant
heres the problem. about two weeks ago there was some blood when i would go to the bathroom. very slight amount.
just these past few days, my vagina has been very irritated,itchy, and today it was bleeding a little when i went to the bathroom. i took a mirror and looked down there, it seems there was maybe a cut or the source of blood was near the vaginal opening or near where the cherry would be popped?
i lost my virginity two yrs ago so i really dont think its just from sex.
anyone have any ideas what could be going on?
im thinking about scheduling a gyno appointment..but my health insurance runs out the end of the month. if i go, would it be anonymous or would my parents find out i went if i use my insurance before it runs out.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Deffinately book the appointment - sounds like you may have an infection which you may need to get some medication for to clear up - appointments of that nature are normally anoynmous altho I'm not 100% sure how it works in America - but infections are not always related to sex such as thrush and cystitis so its not necessarily linked to sex. But I would also reccoment going to a sexual health clinic if you have any of those? As could be a chance you have a STI if you are sexually active.
As for your period - depending on your age it is normal for them to fluctuate, if you have an infection this may also be affecting it so I would mention it at your appointment - if you are on birth control this may also affect your periods.
Bottom line tho - if you are having itchy/irration down there get it checked out and don't be embarassed - its normal and unfortunately probably wont go away unless you do!
Good luck!
