Is it abnormal for someone under 18 to have a vaginal infection?
I’m a virgin but I always get a white discharge that has a strong nasty odor… I don’t know if that’s just supposed to be my regular discharge or what, but it’s gross. Should I talk to my doctor or is there something else I can try, to promote better vaginal health?
If I did go to the doctors to get checked out, would the process be any different for me because I’m under 18? (I’m 16 btw)
Thank you! (:
Not abnormal. I had my first yeast infection at 13.
Different types of infections, which a girl can get at any time:
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
