    Question

    hi, i'm 14 years old, already started my period about 3 years ago, but i dont have it now. but over the past week or so i've been noticing very thick discharge in my underwear. it's whiteish and has no odor. but there's a lot of it in me. should i be concerned?

    Answer

    If you are having sex with anyone you should see a doctor. If you have recently been on antibiotics you should see a doctor.

    If you have never had sex or been on antibiotics then this is most likely normal. It probably means you have started to ovulate and you may notice a change in your vaginal discharge every month. In general if your discharge has no smell, is white or clear and doesn?t itch, it is just your normal hormonal variation.

    If you have more discharge over the next week or two, or start having any other symptoms then you should see a doctor.
