    Question

    I need help I am getting this yellow and white stuff coming out of my private part and I just need answers please. Thank you

    Answer

    It is very likely perfectly normal and your vagina actually keeps itself clean with that stuff, which changes during the month, based on your menstrual cycle. Even though you may not be having a period, or bleeding each month, your hormones are still cycling for up to a year before you start having periods. So, bathe frequently and you can use a small panty liner if it annoys you.
