bacterial vaginosis. I had that once and it was terrible. you need antibiotics to get it treated. otherwise you can spread it to your partner.
Though i think i may still be to young to know exactly how to test, i remember seeing a commercial that shows this little strip that you use like a pregnancy test. You “go” on it, then match the color that shows to all the options. Try seeing if a nearby Walgreen has it.
sorry if this isn’t any help.
That is an infection, drug store stuff is only okay if you`ve had this before. If not your doctor needs to make sure it is nothing serious and he or she can recommend something to help you, it may be more then the drug store stuff can fix, you may need antibiotics.
you might need to see a doctor and get antibiotics.
Monistat has something available over-the-counter that can test for infections. It’s a plastic thing and you insert it for around 10 seconds. When you pull it out, the end of it will have turned a color, which indicates your PH. You match that color to a chart provided for you, and it will tell you based on that color what you *possibly* have and the steps you need to take to treat it. It costs about $15-20 for a box of two tests.
