None of us on this site are doctors. We cannot make diagnoses and even if one of may have had something similar to what you are describing; nothing says what you are experiencing is the same thing one of us had.
If you are a teenager and something is medically bothering you, then you need to tell mom or dad. Let then decide if this is something you need to see a doctor about. IF your over 18 then you can decide if you need to see a doctor. If you are concerned enough to inquire of us then I would say you should see a doctor.
Young people should never hide physical problems from their parents. As parents we are responsible for your health and well being. There is nothing about your body that mom and dad are not aware of. There is nothing that can bother you as a female that mom would not know about or a male that dad would not know about. Truth be known, regardless of your sex you could go to either parent with any male or female problem without embarrassment. As parents we are well aware of the intimate parts of our own bodies as well as those of our children's of either sex.
