Question
I am 15 years old and sexually active, but I have not had sex since October. I started my period twice in December, at the end of November into December and from the end of November into January. I know that's normal, I think. But after my usual 7 day period there was mild cramping and brownish mucus which had now turned into brownish yellowish thick discharge with a light odor and itching every once and a while. Could this be an STD or just an infection? How soon should I see a doctor?
Answer
Yes, you may have an infection, so please see a doctor! Make an appointment with your doctor or your local Planned Parenthood!
