Vaginal Discharge, Yellowy Colour, Wetness
I ve been suffering with vaginal discharge for a few years now, but recently it s become worse. It s a yellowy colour and sometimes smells fishy. I m not sexually active at the moment, but I have been in the past. It s making me feel concious and embarrassed. I haven t yet been to a doctor as I ve been very scared about going. Sometimes it feels so bad that it makes me feel like I ve wet myself. I wear a sanitary towel sometimes to absorb it, what do you think this could be? And also, what can be done about it?
