Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.

The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when a woman is breastfeeding or when you're sexually excited.

Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. Some other types of infections such as yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis can also cause discharge that is usually accompanied by odor such as beer/yeast/fish.

I would recommend that if you have any of these signs or any concerns regarding this you consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and for proper treatment should you have anything other than just a normal vaginal discharge.

Good luck :)

i always find sticking a plug up my lady bits works... but congrats your now a woman.....

no idea ask a doctor?

I used to get this quite regularly when I was on the pill - I never found out what it was, but so far it hasn't done me any harm.

One thing the doctors suggested was that I might have ovarian cysts which were bursting and releasing fluid - this wasn't the case, but it might be true for you, so you should definitely go to your doctor.

I suffer this and my doc told me that its the unused egg mixed with secretions that are left behind in the vaginal u bend and its waiting to be released on the next period or it may be just normal for you discharge as we all are different and our bodies work in different ways even thugh we have the same organs. I woulld suggest calling your local sexual health clinic as they dont only deal with std's but in almost all aspects of womens health, good luck

Many girls and women get that. As long as it doesn't smell and isn't a strange colour (i.e anything but a white/clear colour) then it's perfectly normal.

This is making me horny...
