Question
Let's say sarah's vagina has an itch. Not a SCRATCH ME! itch but a teeny itch that bothers her. It burns jusy a little bit when she pees. So what should she do? Go to the gyno or wait it out? Oh yea! There's no smell down there and she's still a virgin.

I would say that Sarah needs to try drinking more water and cranberry juice and maybe eating some yogurt each day for a week. If it goes away, life is good. If the itch gets worse, try over-the-counter yeast infection medicine -- just ask a pharmacist. After that, see your regular doctor. No need for an ob/gyn until sexually active. Good luck!
