Question
i have been having pains in my vagina, and some itching. and i don't no the word to tell you what the hole is called but it is in the hole where you have your peroid in. it's not there all the time but if it comes it stays. i have never had sex, and i know someone who just a had a sexually transmitted disease (chlymidia), that i am around often. why is this happening to me?
Answer
First, you cannot get Chlamydia from anyone without having sex with someone who has the disease, so relax. Second, the hole where the blood from your period comes out is called your vagina. Third, sometimes you can get a yeast infection that causes itching - so just ask your doctor. Nothing to worry about - easy to treat.
