vaginapaginaHey lovely ladies (and lurking gents),
I'm posting to try and help my sister. It's likely to get a little long so I'll put it behind a cut. But basically here's the issue: she's needed to go to the doctor for abnormal discharge and probably a yeast infection (and/or BV) since November, when we moved back into our parents' house (we lived with close friends from her church for six months because of family issues), she's seventeen, not currently sexually active, and engaged to be married. Right now it hurts her to pee, yesterday when she peed, her unine was almost orange, she says she has "a lot" -- I asked her and she said it gushes and her underware is almost always wet and she's thought she's started her period before just because of how much there was) of discharge that smells weird, she says it's slightly yellow in colour, and she says she sometimes gets stomach pains whenever she eats or drinks anything, no matter how long it's been since she ate.
I just basically explained the whole thing but I'll go into more depth here:
My parents -- it's just my father and step-mother -- have been slightly neglectful for her health since they got married in 2000. It's always concerned me but lately it's gotten worse and worse so I've decided to anonymously call Social Services on them when they're on their motorcycle trip to Georga (which they can't really afford since the phone has been turned off and they "can't" get it turned back on) if they won't do something about what's wrong before they leave, or give her money and her insuance card to take care of it while they're gone.
Since November she has had odd dischage that's changed in consistancy throughout this period of time. It's fairly watery and slimy and a faint yellowish colour now, though, and it randomly rushes out. There's so much of it that it makes her underware wet and she's thought she's started her period before because of it. I think that this is either BV or a yeast infection but I'm not sure how to tell which so I can tell her what she can do to keep comfortable until I either call Social Services or she gets to a doctor. Any ideas?
And now she's telling me that it hurts when she pees, and that her urine was almost orange yesterday, she says she's almost sure she has a bladder infection (and I know she needs antibiotics, so I'm doing all I can to work on it). But I was wondering if perhaps her vagina issues may have something to do with this as well? And what can I tell her to do to keep comfortable?
This really concerns me: she told me that it hurts her stomach to drink water sometimes, even if her stomach isn't empty, and that it just plain hurts to eat sometimes too. I'm wondering if perhaps it might be an ulcer but she said she hasn't noticed it being tied to any foods or stress or anything. Could her other problems be affecting this as well?
Do any of you wonderful people have any ideas? Anything I can tell her to help her keep comfortable? I'm trying to get my parents to take her to a doctor and I'm willing to call social services on them if I have to, but I'd like to know what to tell her to do in the mean time.
Thank you for any advice or help.
