Am I beyond help at this point....?
by kerri18, Nov 29, 2008 12:18PM
I dont really know where to begin...but I have so many problems with my private areas its begining to drive me crazy. My names Kerri, I just turned 19, and I have had a yeast infection since i was about 13. i know I should have gotten it checked out BUT that leads me to another problem. I was always too embarressed to mention it because I also have some kind of very wierd deformity i dont want anyone to see. Not even the doctor. The left side of my vulva is kinda...overgrown and strectchy. Its about 4 times the size of what it should be and it makes me VERY self concious about 'down there'. Do they have corective surgeries to make it the normal size? If so how much do they cost? I also seem to have an abnormally large amount of discharge alot of the time....it depresses me knowing that i'm not normal and I cant even have sex with my boyfriend because I'm afraid of what he will think of me when he sees how big the side of my vulva is. It seriously affects my life alot.
And just to add to the problem, I've had lumps in BOTH of my breasts since I was about 12....I'm almost positive its not cancerous. They are very slow growing and its like...without them I would have any boobs at all. They are taking up the whole inside of my breasts. They make my breasts very tender, expecially right before and during my period...do you think it could affect breast feeding later in life? Because I want kids very badly but right now its looking as thoug because of all these factors put together...thats never gonna happen. If someone, ANYONE could get back to me with advice, answers, or even just some suuport...i would be SOOO greatful...I really would. Thanks so much for reading.

You deserve to have a normal sexual life, and to know what your internal female organs look like and if they function normal do you have nomal menstural cycle.
most womens breasts are very tender before menst. that is 100% normal, the lumps you are feeling could be mamary glands or you could have cystic breasts both are normal.
You need to see a gynocologust for a full exam, trust me theres noting they havent seen, your not going to shock him, Be brave take this step, find out why your labia major is malforumed, abd get a little surgery to correct it then you can get on with your life , grow and learn about your sexuality, ( remember be safe) you may pm me if youd like to ask any more questions.
Keep your sugar consumption down, also.
Last, and what I personally is often a culprit is the use of regular soap in the private areas. They can easily cause discharge. buy a soap-less, or really mild, un-perfumed soap or EVE makes a product that comes in a bottle. that may totally take care of your problem and even what you think is a yeast infection and may not be. That is the very first thing I would do. it's OK to use regular soap on the rest of your body.
hope this helps, kat
