Why do I have excessive discharge?!


Question: Why do I have excessive discharge!?
I have had it since before I started my period, I believe!. I started my period when I was 12, I am now 16!. I used to take antibiotics regularly, 2 times a day when I was 10-15!. I figured that was the cause of it!. But here it is many months, almost an year later!. And still no relief!. A week after my period is when it starts and it doesn't stop until my next period!. Some months it doesn't stop at all!. I am not sexually active!. Here are my usual symptoms!.!.!.

My Symptoms:
Itching
Burning
Redness
Odor
Thick and gooey, sometimes runnyWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
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 a woman is 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 :)
