Problems... down there... >V>;
Hiiiii so i have a problem. Its been going on ever since i was little. I've been having vaginal problems for eeeeeeeeever! It's so annoying... So, i always get an uncomfortable feeling down there. like, it's similar to the pain of a bladder infecton. it's really hard to explain. most of the time it's not incredibly painful, more often than not its just extremely uncomfortable and annoying and embarassing. (I feel insecure, even though i know no one knows, i still feel embarassed.) I don't know what it is. it's been happening for a long time. it gets worse before, during, and a bit after my period, then it calms down. My sweat glands are also hyperactive, so i sweat a lot, including down there, which can make it worse. summers coming, and i'm afraid... I have to carry Vagisil everywhere with me, and i have to use it almost every day. everyonce in a while there will be a week where i feel great, and then it comes back.I also sometimes get attacks where its excruciatingly annoying aaaand painful. I don't know what to do... its so inconvient. it will ocassionally keep me from having fun because of embarassment, but also because it sometimes get to where it feels uncomfortable to walk. Is there anyone out there who has this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions on how to cope, or cure? thanks~~~~~

You need to see a doctor. You might have a urinary tract infection. Vagisil is used to treat infection, but if you're using it constantly you'll make things worse in the end.
When you go to the doctor's, they'll have you do a pee test. From that they'll be able to tell lots. Chances are that they won't need to do a physical examination.
As for your sweat glands being hyperactive, your best bet is to go with a medicated powder. They're super cheap at the drug store. After you shower and dry off, pat a little bit on your nethers, making sure not to get any on the inside. It will help keep you dry for the rest of the day, and as a bonus it's super refreshing in the summer.
Before you see the doctor, it might not be a bad idea to step up your water intake. That can help flush you out, but keep in mind that no home remedy that you'll read about is a proper substitute for real medical care.

None of us are doctors so we cannot diagnose your problem. Even if one of the lady's on this site had symptoms similar to what you are having it does not mean her problem and yours are the same. So asking the question that you have asked is not going to get you a proper solution or diagnoses, which is what you need.
You have not indicated if you have seen a doctor or if you have discussed this problem with your mother. You really need to do both. This is a health problem not a sexual problem. A health problem that happens to deal with your reproductive system is not something you need to be embarrassed about or one you can not talk to mom about.
You need to see a GYN. If you are over 14 you can see the doctor in total confidence by law. The law is called HIPPA and is a federal law passed with a provision that allows young people to see doctors for reproductive health in confidence. Parents cannot stop you, they cannot inquire of the doctor for what you are being treated or seen for. Everything that takes place in the doctors office stays there. The doctor can tell no one without your written permission. Your mother cannot be in the exam room with you without your permission and she cannot force herself on you or for you to release information to her.
This law as I said was passed with this provision so you can seek medical treatment and be totally open and truthful with the doctor. If this is the reason you have not told your mom and have not seen a doctor you no longer have a reason not to see a doctor as long as you are over 14 years of age.
The problem you have needs to be diagnosed by a GYN and once diagnosed should be easily treated. There is no reason you should have to live as you have been out of any fear your parents may find out something you do not wish them to know. You have protection for this under the law. The doctors can lose their license and go to jail if
they or anyone in their employ release medical information without your permission.
