Anon, you really must see a doctor. Why have you put it off so long? You may just have an infection that can be treated with antibiotics, but the longer you put it off, the more negative side effects will happen to you. It won't go away by itself. Or you may be dealing with something like ovarian cysts, which may need to be treated surgically and/or with medicine. It's confusing because there are different conditions that can have the symptoms that you are experiencing.
Do you have a doctor you can trust? Or are you not comfortable going to a family doctor? Please know that you can go to a Planned Parenthood health clinic. They will test you for STDs, prescribe medicine and help you figure out what's going on. They are professional and knowledgeable and welcoming.
Here is their home page. You can put in your zip code and find a Planned Parenthood health center near you:
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/
The service is low-cost, completely anonymous and confidential. You can go by yourself or with a friend.
Will you do this, Anon? It's really important to take care of yourself. At EmpowHer, we believe in women helping women, especially with information. I'm so glad you wrote to us, but now I want you to take the next step. Will you do that and come back and tell us what you found out?
