Q. Hi I’m 15 and i was masturbating 1 day ago with an object (not supposed to be used to masturbate with). i was bleeding right after and i freaked out alot, it kept on spotting for a couple hours and then it stopped, today brown discharge was coming out and my vaginal area is kind of itchy and it pains me a bit. I’m really scared and i don’t feel comfortable to tell my parent’s and I’m too scared to visit a doctor. I’m really freaked out, can someone please help?

A. If you are having continued discharge or irritation in your vagina please make an appointment to see your primary care provider or at Corner health center. You do not need parent permission to be seen for a sexual health issue if you are over the age of 12.
