Discharge: What's the right color?

 

Check these out, too...

What color should discharge be? Mine is yellow. Is that normal?

 

Ah, the age old question about discharge. Let’s get into all—OK, OK, some—of the colors of the rainbow.

 

Normal discharge is clear, white or off-white in color. The texture can vary from thin and sticky and elastic to thick or gooey.

 

If this isn’t what your discharge looks or feels like, take note! The change could be an important sign of an imbalance in your bod. Signs you should go to a doc? Discharge that’s grayish or greenish in color, discharge that’s foamy or clumpy like cottage cheese, discharge that smells bad, burning, swelling or redness. Yellow discharge could be a sign of infection, so get yourself to a doc to be checked out.

 

Number-one rule of discharge diagnosis? If you’re in doubt, get checked out! A quick phone call to your doctor could help you figure out if there is a problem, so don’t delay.

MOD! MOD! MOD!
wht is discharge? i'm 12 and i still don't know.... and i'm 2 embarrest 2 ask my mom.... Foot and how will i tell if i have it??? Frown plus if i have discharge does tht mean i am going 2 have my period? Frown




Hey chica,

Read this article for all the deets on discharge and to help you figure out what your bod is going through right now Smile  (And this one will help you figure out what it should look like when you do have it.) Doctors say that discharge starts about 6 months to a year before a girl's first period, but that's not a guarantee that it will definitely start then. You just gotta be prepared and try to relax until your actual period decides to come Smile




And don't be embarrassed to ask your mom though!! Remember - even though it feels a little awkward to bring up with your mom, he's a girl and she went through this too when she was younger! She has a lot of valuable information and advice for you, so totally take advantage of it Smile

MOD MOD MOD! I just saw that there was little drops of blood on my pad i have been leading up to this day but ever since i changed it a hour ago nothing has happend is this discharge? I'm not the person who knows.




Hey lovely,

Don't worry - our periods vary in flow so even in one hour, it could be heavy, and the next it could seem like it's not even there anymore! Since you saw the blood though, stick with the pantyliner/pad for at least 6 hours afterwards. If you still don't see any blood on the pad or when you wipe, you might be safe. But always be prepared with a pad just in case!

This is extremely strange. My discharge is white and I don't think discharge could stain any of my clothes. But when I went to the bathroom and looked at my purple undies that I was wearing, my undies had turned light blue. Is that wrong?

MOD...Please?
I'm going through a 'joyful' stage with below the equator. It smells weird and, yes, discharge is coming out. I'm embarrassed because it's called my family's 'curse ' where all the girls hit puberty early. I started wearing a bra in third grade. I'm in fifth now and I have to hide my panties when I go to a friend's house because of this discharge. What can I do?

 

Hey girly, discharge is normal. All women (or most) have it before and after their period. Be sure to wear pantiliners in your underwear so that it does not ruin them. Pantiliners are very thin pads, you can hardly feel them. Change them every couple of hours or so.
