    Question

    i'm 14 and i'm worried about vaginal discharge. i haven't had sex yet. i've just had my period and lots of discharge is coming out including a funny smell. do i need to see a doctor?

    Answer

    Discharge every day is normal and it changes during the month because it is related to your hormones. Usually we only worry when it is green or like cottage cheese, or smells really nasty. Otherwise, it is likely to be perfectly normal - but, if you are worried, talking to your doctor is always an option.
