Answers:
First, there is nothing to be enbarrased about! Absolutely nothing! Just think about it - doctors look at it ALL THE TIME!
Even if the doctor will believe you by your telling your symptoms (though it would be rather unprofessional), you will have to go to a gyno very soon anyway for a check up , since you are 17. Best time to start regular check ups is 18, no matter whether you are virgin or not. And the most accurate way for a doctor to prescribe you the right medication is , of corse, if she collects some of your discharge and looks through the microscope. They do it right at the office. Once I thought I had yeast, too, but a doctor looked at it and said it's not yeast at all. So, go ahead and do it. Nothing scary or embarrasing!
