    Question

    im 15 years old and about 6 days ago i lost my virginity to my boyfriend (16) .. and BOY did it hurt. about 3 days after i noticed i had a yellowish discharge coming from my vaginal area. it itches and sometimes burns when i pee. maybe a yeast infection? i tried to lay in a hot bath with apple vinegar.. thats not bad for you right?

    Answer

    I think you should be checked out. Discharges are often signs of infection and if you have picked something up you will need to get treated. Apple cider hot bathes are fine. I hope you were able to let your boyfriend know that sex hurt and you guys need to go a little slower next time.
