I am 17 and I have been have sex for year now with the same guy. For a couple months now the front of my vagina started hurting. I looked it up and it said I had vaginsmus. I can't tell my parents because they wanted me to wait but is there a way I can get rid of it myself?

First self diagnosis is dangerous. You might think that's what it is, but only a doctor can accurately diagnose.

Second, at 17, you go to your OB/Gyn on your own and not have have your parents told why. They will know you went unless you pay for it yourself.

Again, you don't have to tell your parents anything, other than you want to see your doctor. Or go to a clinic and pay for it yourself. But you DO need to get it checked or you could be endangering your life, your ability to have children or your future sex life.

I don't know of any clinics around where I live. And I don't have the money to go.

Why do you have to tell your parents about your sexual activity? What you say to the doctor will be confidential between you and him/her.

Where are you? Maybe we can find one. What about your boyfriend? He has a part in this. But the bottom line is you can't ignore this and NEED to get it treated.

Well I looked it up on Google. And my boyfriend sleeps over every other weekend and we have sex like twice a day but the second time it starts to burn really bad and when he pulls out I start to cry because it hurts. I he goes to put back I have to say no because it hurts to put it in.

You can look up your symptoms on Google, but you can't look up clinics? Here's a Bing search that shows there are many clinics in your area.

Your parents do not have to know you are sexually active. All women have problems at various times with their "parts"(and so do men) without being sexually active. You can get a yeast infection without being sexually active. You DO need to see a doctor. Is there a Planned Parenthood near you? That could be the place for you to be checked because they are anonymous. Please, get it checked out.

I know but I don't even think about going to a clinic or anything. For all I know I am just exaggerating and this is nothing. Because I also seen it might be because it was not wet enough. We did it different then usual so that might be way
