vaginapaginawell i have 2 questions. one is kind of hard to explain thuogh but i will try my best.
1. so im a virgin (soon to be 20) and i'm kind of conflicted. a lot of my friends who are sexually active have gone to a gyno. some have suggested that i dont have to go to a gyno since i'm not sexually active, but then i heard a few people said that i should just to make sure everythings is good down there. do i really have to go to a gyno or no? i'm not sexually active and i don't plan on it for a long time.
edit:!! my problem with this is. if i ask to go to gyno, my mom will flip out on me, worrying that im being sexual active. is there a free way of getting checked up without my parents knowing about it?
2. there is a discharge, not even a discharge but it seems to be caught between the lips (i dont know the correct term). it's brownish, and i thought it was just caught up skin but i just want to make sure. its only in the lips, should i have to worry about it, or just clean it up everytime i see it?
thanks to those who answer!

Date: 2006-01-03 04:25 pm (UTC)If you feel like your cycles are not a problem and you are generally healthy then you can wait. However if you have questions and would like to get checked out, you are certainly at an age where you are more than ready to begin seeing someone. If you have painful menstral cycles, long breaks between cycles or other concerns then you may seriously consider seeing someone.
As for your vagina, the outer lips are the vulva. Normal discharge can vary in color though anything with a distint unpleasant smell should get checked out.
