Could be a yeast infection.\n\nThere are over-the-counter medications available at the drug store (no doctor needed).  You can ask the pharmacist for help to pick one out.\n\nAlways wear clean panties.  Cotton breathes better.  Never wear another girl's panties, leotard, or swim suit unless it is clean (and I do not mean it just looks clean).\n\nKeep the outside of your vagina clean (soap & water).  Don't just give it a rinse, use the wash cloth.  Do not use soap on the inside and no need to douche.  A healthy vagina will clean itself.\n\nP.S. I'm a man, but I know my vaginas.

If the discharge is accompanied by any of the following I would get it checked out by an OB/GYN.\n- bad smell\n- accompanied by sores/change in genital appearance\n-discomfort upon sex or urination\n-fever\n-itching\n-a large amount of drainage (enough to make a spot the size of a quarter on a maxi pad, when you are not menstrating)\nIf you don't have anything like this then it may just be a natural change. Your uterus and ovaries can secrete harmless white discharge. But it could also be a sign of the STD clamydia which has white discharge and not many other symptoms. Go get it checked out. -Nykki

It sounds like you might have endometriosis. You should talk to your parents and go to the doctor. Your doctor will know what to do. It is not life threatening but very uncomfortable.

The discharge is probably your body maturing. You are 12, that's how old I was when I got my first period. Your body is going to start to change, but if the discharge starts to change color, or you start to itch, go to the doctors and get it checked. BTW, masturbating is a normal part of growing up, just don't do it all the time....

You have bacterial vaginosis and douching will only make it worse!! Unless you douche with boric acid that is the only kind of douche that ould help. Stay away from perfumes of any kind down there.\n\nIf you can spare $5 or so go get a bottle of acidopholus... take it twice a day for a week. Then once a day for another week. Try to always keep a bottle of it around. If you are noticing that it is coming back, then your sex partner could be a carrier and he needs to be treated as well. I am not sure that acidopholus would work for him. He may need antibiotics. \n\nYou may notice that it is worse after a tub bath avoid these as much as possible. Nobody really knows what causes it but your vagina is supposed to be an acidic environment when you have BV it turns into a high alkaline environment which is what causes the smell.\n\nMy ex husband was a carrier, he even kept giving it to his ex wife before me. He is an alcholic and also chews not sure if that was the reason but even after he took the antibiotics he was still giving it to me anyway...who knows I am fine now but i still have to avoid tub baths and when I do take one I make sure to take an acidopholus

You are very brave to ask this question. First of all I have heard that what you eat has alot to do with you'll taste and smell like. For example if you eat onions alot, you'll have an onion smell,not just down there but your sweat,etc.If you want to taste sweet eat alot fruit and drink juice. Vegetarians smell different than people who eat meat. Also if the smell is really bad you probably have an infection. All women have a smell to them but it shouldn't be bad. A bad odor almost never has to do with cleanliness, but is a sign of infection. Ask you gyno. But do not douche or use perfume on that area it is not good for you at all. Douche is probably the worst thing you could do. Your body is self cleaning, as far as the inside of you is concerned. Good luck.

you have a vaginal infection, not disease, you need to go to the doctor and get treated for that, because every time you have sex it will get worst

First, I don't think you need to see a doctor. Most girls have problems when they first start trying to use tampons. Second, all this stuff about you being a virgin - that doesn't matter in the slightest, you're not going to "devirginise" yourself with a tampon!!!!\n\nThe hole where the pee comes out is called the urethra. Below that, is the vaginal opening. It doesn't really look like a "hole" as such, but if you gently push there with a finger you'll discover it opens up. Personally, I think it's a good idea to gently put your finger in first, then you can learn what direction the vagina goes in for when you put a tampon in. Just make sure you wash your hands first!\n\nYou shouldn't need to stretch yourself to put a tampon in, although it might feel a little bit uncomfortable at first, just because you're not used to putting anything in your vagina. Just make sure you start out using the really small ones, and you should be fine.

I wouldn't be too worried about the smell. Vaginal discharge often has an off smell. I would only be worried if the smell is overpowering and/or looks discoloured. A lot of times the smell will accompany other things if there's something wrong like symptoms of an infection, but if it's always been like that and nothing else is wrong i wouldn't be worried. It's not really a place that smells flowery to begin with right?\nAs for the panty liners, i'm not exactly sure how bad it is for you to be wearing them everyday to be honest . I don't think the panty liners actually make much of the smell go away, you'll be getting rid of some of the discharge and therefore it feels cleaner, but my guess is you've just become accustomed to wearing them for so long that you've conditioned yourself to believe that it's minimizing the smell. Try doing it like quitting smoking, just wear them every other day and see how you feel and if there's a difference.\n\nP.S - To moforailer, I feel sorry for you, it's too bad you have that much time in your pathetic life to go on yahoo and write answers that make you look like a 2yr old.

Sounds like a yeast infection to me. It can be accompanied with or without itching and redness....or even have a curd-like (think cottage cheese) consistency. It will also smell somewhat like yeast or beer. If you haven't had your period yet, it will probably go away on its own. Most women may get very mild ones from time and time and your body often times will fix itself. If it doesn't go away, or worsens, go to the dr (especially if you have never been diagnosed with a yeast infection before)!! \n\nIf there is a strong odor - then you also have some sort of an infection....but not yeast. This can be another type of bacterial infection and you will need to see your dr about this as well. Hope this helps!\n\nAlso try going to www.webmd.com

its an infection.go to a gynocolegist,ask him howto take care of your vagina after you are cured.if you wash with water after every pee and dry it with a clean towel,not a tissue,and wash it with madicated soap every day once at least.it will smell like heaven.the secret is in drying after wash.keep the hair arround the vagina trimmed always if you dont shave,change your panties every day,use all cotten panties,have a wash with soap after intercourse,never allow your man if he isnt very clean and not smelly.give it sometime to breath fresh air(no panty)after the period ends.never use deoderants or perfumes.ouir grandmothers used to make pads filled with lavander and insert them in the panty.that is how they attracted our grandpas.wish you luck.

First you should make an appointment to make sure your ok and no infection is going on, I would say use a sensitive skin soap down below when you wash, and only use cotton underwear, they really help, lets you breath down there, and maybe take a quick shower before you are gonna make love, just so you can feel better, but for sure get to the doctor!!

try using a lubricant, you may just be dry, and is it possible you still may have a tamp. still in there that you possibly forgot about? Or I'm just thinking that you might entirly be to young for any of this and you should go to your health clinic (for free) and get some answers that you could possible use. I was 13 When I first went to the health clinic for advice and sure glad I did. you'll be surprised. Good Luck.

im 20, when i was in high school and middle school i had the same problem, but your not peeing yourself, when you are a developing teen female some times you'll get a clear discharge in your panties, this is normal, most girls get it around your age, don't be scared, it will come and go for a few years, your body is changing and becoming a women, if you have any other questions about it let me know we can talk, ash

Your girlfriend should get checked out by a gynecologist to find out what is causing the odor.  She shouldn't be embarrassed about going, because they see this type of thing every day.  It could be a variety of things, the most common being yeast and bacterial overgrowth in the vagina.  It is not an indicator of anything bad, it just happens sometimes.
