Once you start puberty a white and/or clear discharge is normal. The vagina is self-cleaning. This same discharge increases the closer you get to ovulation and when you are sexually aroused.
Different Types of Discharge:
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.
Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.
Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.
Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
Different types of infections:
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period
You might have a yeast infection just go get the meds for it and everything should be fine.
yeah i think its a yeast infection
you can get medication at the pharmarcy without seeing a doctor. they also suggest putting a clove of garlic up there if it's after hours... kinda works... but nah not really :P
you''re fine- it's just one of those AnnoyingWOmen things which we have to put up in life. i pray you never get a UTI hehe :P my worst nightmare.. and i used to get em heaps !
Is it itchy? If so it could be thrush. Which you can get over the counter meds for [canesten]
If you're sexually active it could also be the sign of an STI.
But at your age it's normal to have 'discharge'
But go to your doctor [ask to see the nurse if you have a male doctor] and they'll be able to put your mind at ease.
well some girls are just more "juicy" than others. ive had to wear a pad every day since i was 15! if it is greenish in tint or has a fishy smell it could be infection.
Excessive vaginal discharge can be a sign of lichen sclerosus or a vaginal wart virus. A small amount of flow that comes out from the vagina is normal and is present in all women. It serves as a cleanser that gets rid of harmful bacteria and does not allow any infection to affect the reproductive organs. This mucus-like flow is usually clear or whitish. Excessive vaginal discharge can be a sign of lichen sclerosus or a vaginal wart virus.
