i wanted to make sure this is something that anyone can answer just incase so i dont have to plan an extravegent trip to planned parenthood for a checkup.

ive been noticing some wierd stuff going on with.... well with my vagina.

it seems that almost every time i go pee, this cloudy type stuff is like... dropped out of me.

and i know how girl can have fluidds coming out and getting on there underwear but lately mine has been smelly.. not like a fish... just very potent. i wondered if its my new underwear because my new underwear is mostly spandex like material with just a little cotton for the crotch area. is it because of the new fabric that it seems to be more potent?

and whats with that cloudy stuff coming out when i wanna pee?

any ideas?

It sounds like a bacterial infection or yeast infection. Those usually aren't serious, and can be easily cleared up with a week or so of antibiotics. But, it will probably not go away on its own. So, check in with your doctor.

Since you have never had a yeast or bacterial infection before, it is best to go to the doctor to make sure you are diagnosed correctly and the problem is taking care of. If you just go get an OTC (over the counter) medicine, you might not be correctly diagnosing the problem and it could persist (maybe with even worse consequences, not to scare you, but it could happen).


I just learned this for myself recently, females can get yeast infections just because. It could happen because the underwear/pants are too tight and the bacteria/yeast get a nice warm place to grow. Or the balance of chemicals in your body have changed for some reason causing an increase of bacteria/yeast to grow.
So it isn't neccessarily due to sex, although that is the most common asumption and reasons (I would guess).


I hope that has helped some. And I thought it was so that you could go to Planned parenthood clinics without the parents being informed..? I really am not sure on that though, I was lucky that my parents had no problems with any of it.

Well If you are posting on this site then you must be 18 correct? Well i go to planned parenthood and they do not charge me anything except like a 2$ co fee for my services.

A checkup with a doctor is always the best course if you're not sure about something going on. Cloudy urine can be due to an infection, but vaginal discharge can also appear cloudy in urine, it's impossible to diagnose over the internet.

And as far as your parents....if you're grown-up enough to be doing what you're alluding that you're doing, you should be grown-up enough to cop to it. It's not a game or something that you just do for fun, sex and your health _is_ serious business with the potential for serious consequences.

And if you're not 18...well...you need to be to post here. It's not that we don't like teenagers, it's just that the legal age of consent in most states is 18 and iVillage's position is that they don't want to get into a situation where folks (and states) can get upset.

the thing is i cant get to PP just yet.. i need to plan a sleepowver at my friends house so i can go with her because her parents are dumb. i want to make sure that this is something that i dont need to be stressing like all hell over... i mean im a few days away from my period and i heard this could happen during that time space but i wanted to make sure.

i just wanna make sure so i know whether i can get to planned parenthood or not.

also

planned parenthood is really bad about picking up the phone.... they never do. they allways just send you to a machine message and wont let you talk to someone at the counter or anything and its bull... which leads back to the thing where i said i cant get to planned parenthood and i cant even make an appointment over the phone unless i went there in which case i need to wait a week in order to spend the night at my friends house so i can make the appt but then i need to sleep over again in at least 2 days if i want the appt to be much sooner than later you know?

ACK i talk too much.
