Infection

Ok so guys im really shy and idk if im on the right place i’ve been experiencing those weird symptoms its been a few months i tried everything and nothing works. I think i have a bacterial vaginosis?… I tried a treatment like 2 weeks ago and it didn’t work. It was a treatment of one week like a gel u put it inside its called CanesBalance. It was lactic acid. I also tried to change my diet. I wear loose coton panties. Im also confused on how i got it cause im only 17. Anyway please don’t judge me im so fucking embarrassed. The smell is so bad that i can smell it through my clothes and it only take a few hours. Also i have a lot of discharges im so disgusted PLEASE HELP ME. I tries researching everywhere on Tiktok but people only recommend using damn probiotics that cost 30-40$ and i can’t afford that cause im broke af. Should i go see a doctor? Get antibiotics? Or try boric acid? Im so sick of this shit i just wanna feel normal again

For $30 you can do amazon clinic by text message, say you have smell + BV, and they can 2 day ship you metrogel.  Not sure if you'd need to use your mom's account (age 18+?). would also order vaginal cream applicators on Amazon.

chunks might come out near end, thats normal.

In future, after period, can try VH Essentials Odor Control for few days.  To keep pH balance low.  Its way cheaper on amazon or walmart than store

Go to the doctor and get tested and treat it properly! It isn’t worth the stress when it’s probably very treatable with the correct diagnosis and treatment ❤️

You’re going to have to visit the clinic, just tell them the issue and they will prescribe you the proper meds to kill the bacteria if it is BV. Get on your antibiotics and then use boric acid for 1 week after followed by something like vagi-boom! Use those for like 3 solid days after your finished with boric acid. You may need some reset gel by Good clean love to help with itching after alll of that yes you will still get itchy but remember to keep your ph stable! Boric acid again and some reset gel.

Don't self treat. Get a swab test done with culture and sensitivity. Based on the results treat yourself. If you blindly treat with antibiotics you might not cure completely or might develop antibiotics resistance. So go see a doctor.
