Question
I am an 18 year old college student. Just recently I have been experiencing itchiness and burning from inside my vagina. When I got up this morning to pee, it smelled weird and it was a dark color. I was wondering if this was an infection or somethng more serious?
Answer
Sounds like a yeast infection or maybe a UTI (urinary tract infection) - which needs to be treated. Call your university health center and make an appointment. They usually have very cool practitioners who can help!
