Discharge Problems?!


Question: I have had white discharge for 4 years and am 13 now but I get really heavy on it and it is awful. I have to wipe myself at least once every two hours and I stick to my panties. It is awful!! Is there any way to narrow it down or anything? Will it be easier when I am on my period?

Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.

The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor

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.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.

that is a RED FLAG!!!! talk 2 ur parents asap 2 get u a doc. app. pronto.

I guess where panty liners when your not on your period. When your on your period it might be better casue you already have protection. (pads, tampons)

Listen to Marissa, but if you still feel incomfortable talk to a doctor ;)
