  Hi there, 
 
It is possible to get quite a number of vaginal infections without ever having sex.  It is quite common for people who use tampons to begin getting infections about the same time they start with the tampons.  This doesn't happen for everyone,  but I put it in there in case that might apply to your situation. 
 
Having a vagina,  means eventually having to deal with something like this.  Don't be ashamed to go to the doctor.  They won't judge you.  Gynecologists see things like this ALL day EVERY day.  
 
I know a gal who has an incredible infection,  but has convinced herself that there is no problem, and refuses to see a doctor.  People literally get up and leave when she enters a room.  The smell is that bad. 
 
Don't let that be you.  There is NO shame in this.  None.  Anyone who says different is a knucklehead. 
 
P.S.  Don't just start buying over the counter things like yeast treatments and such,  until the doctor tells you to do so.  Treating an infection with the wrong stuff can make things worse.  Thought you should know.  ]
