Question
I'm 13 haven't had my period yet but I have vaginal discharge. Is this normal.
Answer
Some vaginal discharge is perfectly normal before you have your period - it is our bodies way of keeping our vagina clean. Sometimes the discharge at your age is a little sticky and may dry light yellow on your panties. If it is green, like cottage cheese, or has a foul odor, you should see a doctor to find out why.
