I’m 16 and I think I have bacterial vaginosis?

Recently I’ve noticed that I’ve been smelling kind of fishy down there, so I did a little research and I have a bunch of the symptoms for bacterial vaginosis..the smell, the itchiness, a little redness, and the discharge. It’s really embarrassing and I don’t know what to do! I’m really scared to tell my mom, and to go to the doctor to get it checked. I’ve never had a gyno exam and I’m really nervous. I know I need to get it checked as soon as possible, cause I’ve kept it hidden for a while already. How long would it take for the problem to become really serious because I haven’t gotten it treated? Is a pelvic exam completely necessary for a diagnosis? And are they going to use all those scary looking tools on me? Please help!

    This is very common.
    It can become a problem /complications if ignored.
    Your Mom has probably had 20 of them in her lifetime.

    No tools just an item like a q-tip to take a sample.

    Get moving. :)

    It might not be bacterial vaginosis. It could just be a yeast infection. Yeast infections also come with smell, itching, and discharge. Discharge with a yeast infection is normally clumpy and off-white/yellow, and smells/looks like cottage cheese or yeast. And if it is a yeast infection, then the redness can be from irritation or the itching. Doctors normally diagnose yeast infections by taking a sample of urine and testing it for yeast. I have been treated for yeast infections by my doctors twice and they have never done an exam on me for it. You could also try going to a regular family doctor instead of an OB/GYN. The family doctor will still be able to treat you and might not do a pelvic exam on you.
