Well obviously the best advice is to see a doctor ASAP, but also try changing your soap (think...hmmm...have you changed soaps recently?)  I have had a reaction to soap before (It was Irish Spring) I smelled horrible and I switched back the next day and it never happened again, and I have never used "Irish Spring" again!

It is normal to have vaginal discharge. It is how the vag cleans itself. If the discharge smells funny, your sister needs to see a doctor immediately for an exam to rule out cervical cancer, clammydia or even a yeast infection. All sexually active girls, even if you've only done it once, need to have these tests once a year to protect themselves. \n\nYou should also take questions like these to your mother or an aunt to get real help.

Maybe pregnant. Or could be a lil left over from your cycle.

you might have some sort of infection, or your diet is all wrong.  if you eat a lot of red meat ans not enough water, thats where the discharges go too.  try your diet for maybe a week (drink lots of water)  and if that doesn't work definitly go to the doc.

Could just be vaginal discharge (whitish and watery), could be urine, could be sweat. Look at and smell the fluid. If you are unsure, ask your family doctor to help you identify the problem. Good luck!

I think you should go to the doctor. You could have a common infection called bacterial vaginosis, or you may have the beginnings of a yeast infection, even though it doesn't itch or burn at this time. But that amount and type of discharge doesn't sound normal to me. I'd go to the doc if it were me. Good luck! :)

These secretions are natural (as long as they are not accompanied by itching or strong unpleasant odor). It is your vigina's way of cleaning itself. \n\nIf you are uncomforable, try using panty shields that you can buy next to the sanitary napkins (kotex).\n\nThe origin of the problem is probably a slight estrogen excess. Probably does not need any treatment as long as that is the only symptom.

Yes it is mucus discharge. It is gross and annoying but it is normal. You will probably have it always on the days you dont have your period. Wear panty liners such as always to protect your underwear and feel more comfortable.

Everything you're describing sounds perfectly normal - discharge often forms a yellow stain when it's dry. It shouldn't itch, burn or smell, and should be clear, slightly milky or off white at different times in your cycle before it dries on your underwear. It shouldn't be lumpy or really thin, though it does change in consistency throughout the month. As long as you're not experiencing any of these things, you are perfectly normal and the production of discharge, which cleans the vagina, means that you have a very healthy body. Believe me, if you had a yeast infection you would be experiencing some kind of discomfort by now...if the doctor says it's fine, it is.\n\nAs for the other part of your question, be proud that you can relax and enjoy sex so much - most men find a woman who gets very wet when she's sexually excited a real turn on, as this happening is a sign to the opposite sex of her femininity.

I probably shouldn't being answering this question but I will because you don't know.\nOk Young lady, The answer to your question is (NO).\nGirls can have a slight discharge of fluids, Moisture.But it should only be very light Any discharge that has a Color or Strong odor should be looked at by a Doctor. For young women it is important to notice anything out of normial (as you have done) Don't ignore it.It is probably just a minor Yeast infection ( nothing serious (yet) But if you are having sexual relations (sex) then you may have been given a Sexually transmitted diesease by your partner. DON"T IGNORE THIS GO TO A DOCTOR OR CLINIC AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT>AND DON"T HAVE SEX IN THE MEAN TIME. If you don't have it checked and wait it could get much worse.making you very sick. Infections of any kind so near your reproductive organs could make you loose the abilit to have children..

It depends on the smell.  You might have a fungal infection, which can just happen without cheating, or an std.\n\nGood for you for going to the doc!

It feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, in your vagina and the surrounding area. This itching is not always present, but can get really bad. looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. most medical descriptions compare the discharge to cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear. \nIt usually smells like bread or beer. in fact, it smells pretty much exactly like yeast, although the yeast used in brewing and baking is an entirely different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). \nYou should not miss your period with this,\ntry this website for more info\nhttp://www.msu.edu/user/eisthen/yeast/symptom.html\n\n\n its very annoying, wearing cotton underwear and not using bubble bath and alot of stuff down there can help. You can get over the counter stuff to use at night or in the day, drink cranberry juice. If after using the over the counter stuff it doesn't go or comes back then you may need to go to the doctor for some stronger meds.\nit is very common in women, it can happen to any one of us unfortunately, (like we don't have enough on our plates to deal with).xx

Honey...I'm a mom.  Hate to ask this, but does it smell bad?  Have you been having sex with a boy?  If so, could be PH imbalance because of his semen.  Was this white liquid during waht was SUPPOSED to be your period?  These are all questions you should ask a gynecologist (female organs doctor) or (free clinic if you want to be private and not discuss with parents).  From a mom's point of view...I always encouraged my daughter (now 21) to duscuss with me these things.  We were honest and open with each other, and if there was something I didn't WANT to hear, I tried not to REACT badly, but help her get answers, then we'd sit down and discuss what caused this to happen afterwards.  I wanted her to trust me.  Show this to your mom and see if she would be open with you...then see the gynecologist.  Could be a simple yeast infection which are easily treated, but need a doctor to diagnose it and prescribe medication or over the counter medicine.  Never put off questions about your female health.  Good luck!  P.S.  clumps?  sounds familiar from when I was young, but the gynecologist is the best way to go.  Never be afraid of going to the doctor.  Be more afraid of ignorance, and not knowing exactly what's wrong.  If you find out all is okay, won't you feel MUCH better??  Go for it Dear....

Talk to your doctor.  The discharge might be related to the medication upsetting the natural balance of the vagina.  If the discharge is a creamy consistency and accompanied by itching, then it's a yeast infection that can be easily treated with products you can get at a pharmacy.

It sounds normal to me. Sometimes your body produces extra discharge and before your period your body is trying to get rid of it, that's probably why it was a ball and not just something you wiped from your "cooter". don't be scared if it only happen this once, I'm sure it will pass. Now if it happens a lot go to your OBGYN and they can give you antibiotics, which you take for 10 days, to kill the bacteria. it's cool.

It depends upon the level of sweat and how much discharge you release at a given time.  During your period, the odor is stronger but can normally not be smelled by others.  Not all of them smell bad.

I would be sure to be seen by a doctor... \n\nBacteria can get in there and you can have a bladder infection or UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) that causes odor.  \n\nIt never hurts to be checked out when you are concerned and I have learned that people REALLY know when to be seen.. so trust your gut!  \n\nIf you cannot afford it - go to your local health department or even Planned Parenthood, it is their job to figure out what it is, even if it is a UTI and not an STD or birth control related thing.  \n\nAs a side note, infections smell - and that is a really good sign that you have one, and they smell very foul.  Good Luck!
