    Question

    I keep reading about discharge before and after periods, but what if its almost everyday? Very small though. Is it an STI? I am still a virgin, and started my period around two years ago.

    Answer

    Every day can be very normal - especially in small amounts - it is your vagina's way of keeping itself healthy. It will change during the month, too - because it is related to your hormones. Nothing to worry about - sexually transmitted infections can only be transmitted during sexual contact!
