Hi, Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHer, and thank you for your question. Let's see what we can figure out.

Anon, have you ever had a sexual partner? Or have you had more than one? If the answer is yes to either question, did you use a condom?

Your discharge, spotting and odor could be due to a variety of different things. You might have an infection, either a vaginal infection that could be cleared up with antibiotics or (if you have been sexually active) or a sexually transmitted disease that could also be treated. Sexually transmitted diseases are very common.

Here's a page about pelvic inflammatory disease, its symptoms (which do resemble yours) and some links down the left side that talk about diagnosis, treatment and so on:

Here is a page from the Mayo Clinic about symptoms of different STDs. Please be sure to look at the symptoms for Clamydia, as they seem similar to what you are describing:

And here are some of the symptoms of cervical cancer:

It's really important for you to get checked out, Anon. You say you have never been to a doctor; is there a reason for this? Do you need help finding one without your parents knowing?

Planned Parenthood will see you, give you a medical exam and tell you what's going on. They have health centers all over the United States. They are completely confidential -- no one will know that you went. And you can find one of their health centers just by putting in your zip code here:

Here is their page on sexually transmitted diseases:
