Question
I have not have sex before but brown thick a little yellowish discharge has been showing up plzz helpp!!! i cant ask my mom.
Answer
If you haven't started your periods yet, the brown discharge may be "spotting," which is like a "mini period." When you are just starting your periods, your periods may not come every month or look like a normal period. The yellow discharge (if you have never had sex) is a normal vaginal discharge which is very common prior to developing your period. Even after your periods start, you will likely have discharge from your vagina that varies from clear to light yellow. It should not hurt or have a foul smell.
