“What’s going on with my vagina?”
Every morning for like the past two weeks when I urinate it burns and smells horrible with slight itching after. Throughout the day it doesn’t come back maybe a smell here or there but no other symptoms they seem to only happen with the first urination of the morning.

Best to have a GYN exam, and a urine analysis and urine culture.You need to find out if you have a UTI or another type of infection (depending on sexual activity).If you have a family doctor (called PCP), you may want to call and get them to check you out first with urine testing.
It’s virtually impossible to be sure about a correct diagnosis, but you sound very uncomfortable and for that, I’m very sorry. But, I can give you some good tips until you get to a doctor, which I strongly recommend. If it’s a UTI ( urinary tract infection, bladder infection)
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate !! Many urinary problems are helped by increasing your fluid intake. It’s better to use cranberry juice ( because of its hippuric acid), and water, stay away from carbonated drinks and sugar-containing drinks, but do increase your liquids. As for the itching do you have an accompanying white curdy discharge from your vagina? Yeast infections usually, but not always, can cause itching. Have you recently taken antibiotics?? Antibiotics are notorious for causing yeast infections.
And I don’t know if you are sexually active, if so, all bets are off. It’s time to see a doctor. You’re young and want to preserve your reproductive function.
