Question
For a while now I've been noticing that I have a purplelish/greyish dark labia minora (the rest of my vagina is pink). Is it supposed to be this color? Is there a way to make them change pink?
I thought I was going to the bathroom on myself because my panties were always a little bit wet and they had yellow stains on them. Until I noticed that a white discharge has been coming out. Is this normal? I'm 17 years old and I'm still a virgin. By the way, I've never been to a gynecologist before.
Answer
This sounds perfectly normal. A great book you may want to get is called "Body Drama" by Nancy Redd. She has great photos and answers to "real" questions. You can also ask your regular doctor to look and make sure everything is normal!
