Question
I am 15 and about a week ago i started getting brown discharge and then now i've got orange discharge. it' making me freak out!!! and i don't know what to do? i'm not sexually active and i got my period a year ago. HELP!
Answer
Ah - orange discharge - my current frustration. I cannot explain it - and I apologize. I had a theory it was from using deoderized tampons, so if the tampons you use have a "scent" or deoderant - I can suggest you switch, but that is my best guess. If you are not sexually active, my vote is do not worry. If you are too worried, see your doctor or a Planned Parenthood!
