How Do I Approach My Mom About My Possible Infection?

I'm not sure what you are concerned about. Is it just the embarrassment of talking about your pussy? If so, write mom a note, tell her what is wrong and that you are embarrassed to talk about it. She will handle it from there.
If you are worried about what the doctor might do, I will give you a mental technique to help with that. The worst thing that can happen, most painful, would be to get a shot. A shot won't kill you, you can handle that, so anything else will be even easier. If you mentally figure out the worst that can happen and then realize that if that happens you can get through it, then you can face the situation.
I personally only use female doctors, I don't want a man touching me, I actually enjoy a female doing it. If you are concerned about the doctor seeing and touching you, sorry, but grow up. You are going to be seen and touched by lots of people in your life. Accept it and get on with your life. It really isn't that terrible. You will come through it just fine. :)

you have to just suck it up and do it, if you want it fixed.

lots of things we do are embarassing .but no one wlll know except your doctor and your mother, what's so bad about that?

Don't sweat it. We all go to the doctor for stuff. Especially as a woman, you need to start getting used to the doctor checking you out. This is something you are going to have to go through regularly before long anyway. Infections are not something to mess around with. If you know you have a problem, just tell your mom. Chances are she will be very understanding and discreet about it. She will already know you are nervous, because she has gone through this stuff before with doctors.
Also, ask your mom to stay in the room during your check up. It can't hurt to have a little moral support while you are being checked out. Good luck.

ok there should be a place by where you live like a family planning place and there are people there that should help you with what you got and yes they most likely stick their fingers up there to feel around and its not bad and yeah I hope this helped and if you don't have a place like that then just straight up tell you mom that you got something wrong down there but you don't quite no what it is and ask her if she has any idea but if she asks about sex just tell her the truth lol and then after that she should hopefully take you to the doctor.and yeah I really hope this helped

It isn't a huge pill it is about the size of a large jelly bean and you can buy it over the counter at almost any store that sells tampons. If you still want to go to the doctor most cities have a free clinic that you don't have to have insurance to go to and they will keep all your information confidential if you want them to. Since you are not sexually active I wouldn't worry about telling your mom. I'm sure she has dealt with problems like yours many times and she should know how to help you take care of it.
I went on my first "woman" doctor visit when I was 16. It is about time you started going anyway. I was very nervous the first time but the doctors are very professional. If you are uncomfortable with a man just tell your mom you would be more comfortable with a woman doctor. They will do a full pap smear on you and a breast exam. Just make sure you communicate with the doctor and let her know you are nervous. She should help you feel more comfortable if she is a good doctor. Ask her to explain everything that is going to happen and what will feel uncomfortable and what won't. I prefer being examined without anyone I know in the room (Mom sister whatever) That way you can talk to the doctor about whatever you want and there is no one to judge you. I would just tell your mom you think it is time you go to the gynecologist. 16 is about the right age. You will have to go back every year and be re examined. It isn't so bad and you can get any issues you might have taken care of.

Are you itching at all, if so you could have a yeast infection. To cure a yeast infection use plain yogurt that has no added sugar. Just dip a tampon in it and leave it in for an hour. You can do this a couple times.

All it is is a yeast infection. Just tell your mom what you are having and you need to see the doc. They'll take a little Samuel of it with a long Q. Tip it will be fine all your have to take is a little 7 day med and it will be fine.

They don't enter it you take it orally (by mouth). Damn I wish I could remember the name of it, look up yeast infection and they will probably give you the names of several different things you could use, either over the counter or by presciption!

Well you probably have a yeast infection, you can go to the drugstore and get Monistat 7 it's over the counter so no presciption needed, that should help if that is the problem. Yeast infections can be caused from certain foods (to much) certain antibiotics, and certainly to much sex, there really not a big deal unless untreated and it will itch like crazy, you can also get anti-itch cremes for that area as well over the counter. I would try this first, before going to your mom, but I do think it is a good idea to tell your mom if that makes sense. At your age you should go see a gynecologist, would be a good age to start, especially if you are sexually active, you can get on the pill, get the new HPV vaccine and learn about your yeast infection, the Dr. will give you one big pill and the infection will be gone overnight! Your general Dr should be ablte to give you one of those, I forget the name, I've only had one yeast infection so. but good luck!

well infection is not that bad. I am sorta like you. I never got an ainfection but I'm scared half the time to tell my mom anything . I'm sure your mom would understand and take you to gynecologist

Sounds like a yeast infection, but I may be wrong. Most infections are not caused by having sex, but what WE do wrong; like wiping wrong not enough, etc. Your mom will understand.

Well, someone already explained the visit, and not much can really prepare you for the awkwardness of that first gyno visit. As for talking to your mom, just tell her. If you two usually aren't very open about these subjects, approach her when you two are alone and tell her you think you have an issue vaginally. She'll either be embarassed and just offer to make you an appt. or she will open up a bit and try to ask you questions to see if she can figure out what's up. But be open about it; your mom is female and has had many issues down there you can't believe if she's had kids and all the stuff that entails!

Tell her you would like to go to a gynecologist. Most women have had some sort of vaginal infection at least once in their lifetime so your mom will understand. Are you sexually active by the way?

Get a pap smear. What will happen is they will ask you to get undressed and put on a flock, they will then put your legs in stirrups, insert a contraption that will spread your vagina open, take a swab of it with a long q tip. This will then get sent to a lab and will be tested for any STD's.
