It does sound like a traditional yeast infection which is something common in a lot of women!. It can be caused from a lot of things such as recent antibiotic use, tight pants, hot weather and synthetic fabrics, high sugar diets, etc!. It's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about!. You can get over the counter treatment medications to try and if that doesn't work then go to a doctor!. There are also a lot of natural remedies including plain yogurt, no joke!. Yogurt balances the PH of the vagina so the yeast stays in check!. The yeast is something that is always there and you shouldn't be afraid of it!. There are just times that the chemicals going on because of any of the reasons above or hormones shift and make it so that the yeast can be more active causing an "infection"!. Don't be scared!. Even though its uncomfortable you will be alright if you treat it early and shouldn't need the intervention of a doctor!.
If however, after treating it using any of the natural or over the counter methods you are still having symptoms, then it is time to get it checked out!. You can probably talk to your school nurse about it without having to discuss it with your parents if you're too embarrassed!. Also, try to find out if your mom changed your laundry detergent or soap on you to see if you might be having an allergic reaction to anything like that!. Good luck hon and don't be freaked out or embarrassed!. You don't want to advertise it but don't be ashamed either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
