    Question

    My 12 year old daughter has a lot of discharge that is thick and rubbery. It has no odor that I can tell and she is not itching with it. She started her period in July of this year. It that normal? It is sometimes a light looking white but not clumpy as with a yeast infection.

    Answer

    Yes, it can be very normal. If she's not having any other symptoms, it's ok to watch it. It will likely change with time.
