Your smart not to ignore the problem and confided with your mother about your problem. It could be multiple things from yeast infection to something else. But you need to have it checked out.

Ask you mother about seeing a doctor about your concern. If you have a pediatrician or Primary Care Provider it is OK to see that provider for advice. An appointment with a gynecologist is also a good idea. As a young female, it is a good idea and beside existing problem, it is also a chance ask any other questions you may have.

Douching is not your friend. It may only mask the problem. You really need to see your PCP or GYN. Tell your mom/dad that you’re concerned about your odor. Also, if you’re using scented soap down there that could the culprit. Best to visit the doctor. Best of luck and stay a virgin as long as you can. I’m
