gyno-? (vaginaa doctor) :/


Question Posted Friday February 13 2009, 10:48 am

age 15
female:)

well I asked a question on here one day about having an odor . you know. down there? & all of my answers were to go to a vagina doctor(i don't know how to spell . sorry) but anyways . i went there and the first question she asked me was have I had any partners. & I was like no . & then she asked me if i've ever let a guy touch or orally manipulate it . & I was like no (even though a guy did touch it but I had on pants and he only just kind of point at it) so that doesn't count right ? well she was like she's going to do a pa-something . (it's like when she stick that clear thing inside you and opens it then take a q-tip and whatever . it didn't really hurt a lot but it was kind of uncomfortable. anyways she asked me if it hurt when she like put her finger in the . & I was like not really and she said "are you sure you've never had any partners?" and I was like yeah . I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH . why would she re-ask me? so anyways she "diagnosed" me with bacterial vaginosis(if that's how you spell it) and told me to clean down there(which I DO) and to not wear tight pants (which I DO but lose pants are ewwwwy) then it said to wear cotton underwear (that's all I wear)

it was like no thongs, no sprays or powder, clean only the outside(what is the outside? does it include like under then lip things?), and to sleep without underwear to let it breathe . well she gave me like this one pink pill and a lot of white pills . & after I went home I started following the rules the book had and it worked for like a couple of days BUT then the order came back and I don't know what I did wrong . :(

is it because I drink too many sodas and eat too many sorts of food that causes my urine to smell or something? like i'm clueless . AND when the pamphlet said no shaving I almost CRIED! guys don't want a hairy vagina ! EWWWWWW ! :(

don't be immature PLEASE I really need some advice!

First off, the doctor (gynecologist) probably asked you a second time about you having previous sexual partners because the bacterial vaganosis may have affected your sensations below. BV can do some seriously bad things to your body, including rendering you completely infertile for the rest of your life or giving you something called pelvic inflammatory disease (a life-long, very painful, non-curable disease). Many virgins feel uncomfortable when this procedure is done so her finding out that a bad sensation was not there may have told her that the infection had been there a long time or was very severe (she HAD to make sure, she probably moved her fingers or something to double check your sensations down there; she didn't think you were lying, I'm sure).

BV is caused from you killing off too much of the good bacteria in your vagina. Then an overgrowth of bad bacteria start up and it's just Hell from there. It's very, very important that it's treated right away because of the serious side-effects of long-term infection.

You can "wash" the inner bits of your vagina lips ONLY with warm water. NEVER EVER EVER put soap near your vagina. That right there could have caused your first infection of BV. It's okay to get a wash cloth and wipe down the inner lips of the vagina with some warm water but ONLY water.

Shaving causes problems leading to BV because you tend to over clean the vagina with the moisturizers and shaving cream. Sometimes the hairs will get into the vagina when they are cut or you could slip the razor edge in and allow bacteria to enter in such tiny cuts that you cannot feel.

In regards to what guys like:
Do you want good health or a lot of sexual partners? Seriously, what is more important to you? I'd choose good health by a long shot.
Not all guys would go, "OMG SO GROSS!" (who would have sex with such immature guys anyway?!).

BV is usually not caused by drinking sodas, eating bad foods, or anything of the sort. It's usually caused by OVER cleansing the vagina. Once it's over-cleansed then putting, for example, a thong there only helps bad bacteria grow and multiple in the vagina. (Believe it or not, thongs actually are the worst for your body as they tend to spread--yes--fecal matter from the anus into/onto the vagina.)

You need to go back to the doctor about the odor. You are doing something wrong with maintaining a healthy vagina and may need another prescription to get rid of this before it severely hurts your body.

You need to ask your doctor these questions too. It would be perfectly acceptable to make a list of questions to ask when you go to your next appointment for the odor. Make sure to ask for specific things that you're not sure about, like the "What is the outside of the vagina?"

Please see the doctor again. It's seriously important.

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

P.S. Instead of trying to were "loose pants" why don't you switch to skirts? Skirts are attractive, come in a variety of styles, and are very good for when you have problems like BV.
