Vaginal discharge

Asked Jul 26, 2009, 10:33 PM — 3 Answers
I've had this vaginal discharge ever since I was 12 years old, and I am 18 now. I've read about "normal discharge" but I just thought it was strange that it started when I was 12, and I never even got my first period until I was 15. The discharge is clear or sometimes milky colored. I'm pretty sure it's more than a teaspoon each day. It happens 24/7. And it has no odor. I didn't even suspect that it was abnormal until I started reading up on it. So somebody please help me out. Thank you

Vaginal discharge is very normal. It's the vagina's way of cleaning itself. It sucks hardcore, especially because it gets on your panties and whatnot, but it's normal. I wouldn't worry.

Some women have more discharge than others. I'm like you; it's a constant thing, and it's annoying. But normal, so it's all good.

I'm the same way as well. My hsuband loves the fact that I'm 'ready' all the time (at least, physically :P that doesn't always mean mentally )

Ive noticed it goes through cycles of REALLY heavy, and then simply heavy. Pads and pantiliners are usually enough. But every now and then, if I know I am going to be out for a long time, a tampon controls the discharge as well.

BUT DO NOT use the tampons as a discharge control more than once in a great blue moon. Using it too much can cause TSS (toxic shock syndrom) and it can kill you.

Good luck hon

The risk of tss does not increase due to the cause of usage, as long as her tampon is changed often she should be fine (read box for suggested times) there is risk just not greater.
