Question
OK, I'm having this bright green discharge, and I've been having it everyday for the past month now. It has this really bad strong odor, but I'm not have any pain, burning or itching. When I wipe it's really big globes on the paper and on my panties. The odor's so bad that sometimes I dont even want to go to the restroom. I'm kind of scared to tell my mom, because she will totally freak. Is it normal to have green smelly discharge, and if not what should I do?
Answer
Sorry, but green smelly is not considered normal and you need to see a doctor. At 14, you should be able to ask your doctor to keep what you discuss confidential. You can tell your mom you want a physical and then ask to be alone to talk with the doctor. Good luck!
