    Question

    I am 13, and the other day i was in the bath, and i pulled out this stick stuff from down there. It was just in a little ball and was slightly cream coloured, it was really weird. Then when i was in the bath yesterday, i pulled out some more. It comes from the bit between my butt and my vagina, this time it was stringy like snot. I asked one of my friends, and she said it may have been old discharge that clings or something, but do you think i have an infection, or is this normal?

    Answer

    Chances are good it is normal if you have no unusual smell or itching, and are not sexually active. If you are concerned, take it to your doctor.
