i’m 17 and i’ve never been to a gyno. I went to a walk in medical center for an ear infection and she let me know that they do gynecological exams and other stuff. it caught my attention because i think i might have BV, and recently started getting white clumpy discharge as well as itching/burning so I might have a yeast infection on top of it, too. (sucks, i’m not even sexually active). Anyway, i am scared about my first exam, and i wanted to know if there is any disadvantage to going to a walk in clinic over a strictly gynecological clinic? are they less qualified? or is everyone equally qualified to do gynecological exams? these symptoms are very bothersome and i really really don’t want to be misdiagnosed.

ps, can you have 2 infections on top of each other? ugh that makes me feel so nasty.




should i go to the campus health services for my gynecological problems?

sorry, it’s a strange question lol. i just moved into my dorm and i feel like i have the awful bacterial vaginosis! on the campus website, it says if i make an appoitment, they will deal with gynecological problems, for a fee. should i take a visit? would it be weird? would it be like visiting a normal gyno? or should i just wait and make an appointment with my primary physician? its just im here and really wanna get rid of this bv!




Please help pinpoint a gynecological diagnosis.?

Approximately 1 1/2 year ago, these symptoms showed up after my period and have baffled around 4 gyns. All STD tests have come back negative. No yeast, no trich, no BV. I’m only 20 and this is ruining my life, it has made me go into terrible depression which I only just got out of:

-I used to have a clear, tasteless, and abundant vaginal discharge now it is white, scant, and tastes very bitter
-Extreme cervical tenderness
-My vagina is very raw and red from this discharge
-I used to be able have a lot of lubrication at a drop of a dime, now barely any at all
-Extremely painful deep penetration
-Terrible back pain
-Severe lower right abdominal pain (it used to be an ovarian cyst when I was younger but ultrasounds show nothing)

Please, any help is appreciated. I am leaning towards it possibly being PID. I was on Vibramycin and Doxycycline and it helped a little but it’s back. I was also on Amoxicillin which actually helped the best. But as soon as I get off the meds,it’s back

Can they diagnose BV or any infection by just looking. What about an ultrasound. What about if you are on your period?
Will a urine test figure out if you have a UTI.
They said they found "nothing"
not pregnant. and pretty sure I don’t have a yeast infection
I left the same day thats why I ask if they could spot an infection by just looking.
