I'm a 17 year old female, I've been having weird things going on with no explanation. The outer part of my vagina feels irritated, with slight itching, and at times a little sore, without having sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse it itches and has a moderate burning sensation that lasts for a few days. My discharge also changes, at times I think its normal but sometimes it seems too white and thick, and sometimes too watery. I don't know if its normal for a woman to constantly have secretions, but I have to always wear panty-liners, or put toilet paper in my underwear because of the constant wetness. I also have pelvic pain, or lower abdominal pain (specifically near the ovaries) almost everyday. I have had 3 ultrasounds done, and have been tested for gonnorhea/chlamydia, candidas, bacterial vaginosis, etc. No one can find out whats going on. Does anyone have ANY ideas of what could be going on? or what I should do.. or what to ask my doctor?? I'm clueless.

Itching and burning of the outer vaginal area are typically always signs of a common yeast infection. Since your STD screenings all came back negative, I am sure it's yeast. If that is the case, it's easy to treat. You can buy yeast infection creams and suppositories from any grocery or drug store without a prescription. The most common are Monistat and Vagisil. They come in a variety of doses (time needed to clear up infection) and also come with itch relief cream. I recommend you try that. They are not very expensive either.

It is normal to have discharge all the time. That area is meant to stay moist all the time. Most women's panties get wet. You aren't the only one. Some days you will have more discharge then others and it is normal for it to range from thick to thin and clear to slight yellow or white. You want to watch for greenish coloration and a foul/fishy smell which would indicate an infection.
