Dear Bleeding, Itchiness and Irregular Vaginal Discharge,

It is possible that you have some type of vaginitis. Symptoms of vaginitis can include changes in vaginal discharge, vaginal itchiness, painful urination, and light bleeding or spotting. Vaginitis is generally something that is easily treated. Treatment depends on the type you have (bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, trichomoniasis).

While there is a possibility that you may have some form of vaginitis, please know that TeenHealthFX cannot provide you with any kind of definitive diagnosis online. It is important for you to meet with a health care professional who can give you an accurate diagnosis and provide recommendations for any needed treatment.  

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
