Question
Hi I'm 14. I have never had a period before and Im not sexually active. I have been having brown, stringy vaginal discharge. there is no oder, no pain, or itching. I'm just worried about what it might be. please HELP me!!
Answer
You are probably close to starting your period. The brownish color can be caused from old blood. If you are not having any other symptoms and you have not been sexually active, I would not worry for now. If you are so concerned -- talk to your doctor!
