Question
I'm 16 and I started my period last year. When it first started, I didn't have a problem with discharge. I mean it was never so much that I had to wear panty liners every day. But now, for more that a few months, it's been really heavy. So much that I can't wear underwear without a panty liner. It used to be white but now I've noticed that it's more yellowish than before.
It also seems to increase whilst doing sports. Also for a few days now, it's been a bit itchy. So, I'm thinking that this isn't normal. It sounds to me like BV, but I'm not sure. I'm also a virgin, so it can't be an STD.
Answer
Sorry, but the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor.
