I don’t know if I have a vaginal infection? Please help me
Please help, I don’t know what to do I’m not sure if I have a vaginal infection. I was fingered by a certain someone and a couple days past, I get my period and after my period is over I get this strange smell coming from me and I check myself and a yellow stain appears and it’s terrible odor so I put a pad and the next few days the same yellow stain still appears and I can smell from just sitting down. I don’t have red itchiness or any other symptoms. What do I do if I can’t tell my parents or go to a doctor?

That may not be related to being fingered although I guess a finger could introduce bacteria into your vagina. Overall though, women can get bacterial vaginosis all on their own without anything sexual involved. It produces a strong and foul odor. Discharge is usually scant and more watery, thin and grey in color. Your mom should know that this doesn't have to be sexually related and antibiotics are used to treat it. So, you have to go to the doctor. They will swab your discharge. You'll have your answer quickly. Also, you could try planned parenthood on your own if you don't want your parents involved. You pay cash, it's usually not expensive and parents do not have to be informed. good luck
