    Question

    Is it normal for preteens to have discharge before the onset of menses?

    Answer

    Yes! It is perfectly normal and likely is just a little crusty white or light yellow stuff on your panties each day, and nothing to worry about. If it is ever really itchy, clumpy like cottage cheese or stinky, then you need to see your doctor.
