Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a fourteen year old girl with anxiety problems, I am on Prozac and Clomapam for my anxiety. The anxiety causes me to sweat profusley and when I get really anxious I feel like I have to urinate all the time. My underwear keeps getting wet and I am not sure if it is just sweating from the anxiety or if I am having bladder problems becuase I need to urinate all the time. This morning I went to the bathroom and there was a little wet patch in the middle of my underwear, also I have a funny odor around my vagina which is sort of fishy smelling. For a while, I was having very thick discharge and went on a medication for yeast infections. The fluid on my underwear today smelled fishy and salty. Do have a vaginal infection, or is that just normal odor? Am I sweating because of my anxiety (I also sweat under my arms a lot too) or do I have incontince problems because of my anxiety? I am very confused and this is embarassing.
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are quite distressed and worried about your recent symptoms. The symptom of increased sweating can very often be a manifestation of anxiety. However, there can be other medical causes like thyroid problems, etc. The incontinence is unlikely to be a symptom of anxiety.
Regarding the foul-smelling vaginal discharge, it is likely that it is due to an infection. Now, since you are having multiple symptoms, I suggest that it is better to see a doctor for a proper examination and evaluation.
Wish you all the best.
Regards, Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist
