Question:
Dear Linda... Dr. Mona? I'm not sure how to address you. I have a problem that I'm very very very ashamed of and it's been on my mind more and more often. I just don't know what to do with myself, I've never confided in ANYONE about this because I am so so embarassed; not a friend, not even a family member. I'm even too embarassed to go talk to a professional who could take a look and diagnose me because I am absolutely petrified to face the reality of my situation. I can hardly even bring myself to describe it... but I feel like the internet lends a certain air of anonymousness that I am slightly more comfortable with (although even this makes me uneasy). Alright.. here it goes.. I am writing because I have an abnormal genital area. The area is a bit loose and is not very sensative to touch. The vaginal lips are wrinkled and have a fairly reddish appearance. The whole area itches pretty frequently and there is vaginal discharge on a regular basis (daily)... usually of a greenish/pale color. This bothers me more than anything because I don't know what to do about it or if anything can be done. I feel so disgusted at myself, I can't even bear the thought of it... sometimes it makes me cry. I have never engaged in sexual intercourse or even had anyone touch me down there. I don't even touch myself. I can't think of any reason for this humiliating and disgusting problem... I know that there isn't a history of anything of the sort in my family. I am a healthy person and not taking any medications. Please help me!! Can this be remedied or will I be like this for the rest of my life? I feel like this whole issue has affected so many issues on the way I feel about sex and my own sexuality. I feel "defected" and "incomplete". I really and truly do not want this to be poseted on the page, I am merely in dire need of some sort of assistance, advice, anything! Please respond, I would appreciate more than you could ever fathom. Thank you so much.
