What is wrong with my body?

My vagina has had an unusual odor for awhile now. I discovered it after I first had sex in September. It wasn't quite as bad as it is now. but anyway, for the past few days my vagina has been itchy. today it got so itchy, I scratched so hard I made it bleed. that's when I really wanted to check what it looked like. when I looked I saw my vagina flaps (I don't know the technical word, sorry) were very swollen. then I looked at my vagina opening and it looked swollen and it looked kind of bumpy. It burns when I pee too, and my discharge is a yellowish color. what could this be? I'm worried and I need help. thank you!

    Flaps= labia minora

    Sounds like a bacterial infection and you should see a doctor.

    Signs of yeast infections:

    White, cottage cheese-like discharge

    Swelling and pain around the vulva

    Intense itching

    Buy Monistat 7 over-the-counter

    Signs of bacterial vaginosis:

    A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge

    A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap

    Itching or burning

    Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

    See a doctor

    Could be a urinary tract infection. Drink lots of water and cranberry juice.. The is a medicine over the counter that relieves the symptoms of the UTI called Azo.

    Or could be a vaginal infection, try Vagisil...if nothing gets better see a Dr, you would need antibiotics for the infection.. You can also be checked for STD's

    You may have a urinary tract infection. You should go to the doctor and get prescribed some antibiotics and drink prune juice.

    Did you use protection? Have you been to a gynecologist to be tested for STD'S? If not I would highly suggest you get yourself checked for a sexually transmitted disease.
