DO NOT try cutting this on your own. should talk to a dr either your
own dr or someone at a planned parenthood clinic. Please make an
appointment. They will also counsel you with regards to birth control
as well as discussing the Gardasil vaccine.
Not to sound preachy; however, if you are old enough and mature enough
to be having a sexual relationship, you should act accordingly and speak
to a medical professional about your body. It is not comfortable, but
necessary.
Good luck
