I've been discharging this clear to white stuff from my private area since I was 14, what is it?

Question

I've been having this clear/white stuff coming out of my private for the past year now, i dont know what it is but im scared. is this normal? it also tends to clump together and sometimes slimy and is salty (i was curious one day). i dont mean to sound really disgusting but i dont know what it is and i didnt know who to ask. its easier to ask you guys because i'll probably never see you so i wont have to be all weird around you.

Answer 1

It's your body's natural lubricant.  There is nothing wrong with you.  It is salty because your body is salty, like your saliva has salt.  Don't worry about it.  It is completely normal!

Also, it might be a good idea to start calling your "private" area your v****a.  You are 14 or 15, it's a v****a not your privates.

Answer 2

its discharge, every girl gets it, and once you start getting it, that means your period will probably come from 1 to 3 years after

Answer 3

It's vaginal discharge. It cleans out your v****a and it's perfectly normal. It's something every woman deals with. If it bothers you too much, you can wear a pantyliner. It's absolutely normal. Don't be scared. (And don't taste it anymore, lol)

The only other thing you need to know about it is that if it has a strong odor, looks discoloured, and itches you might have a yeast infection.

Answer 4

ur ok

Answer 5

that is normal and will be around for the rest of your life, at times it will change in consistency depending on where you are in your cycle and other factors. It is your v****a's way of cleaning its self.  If it itches real bad and looks a lot like cottage cheese it would indicate a possible yeast infection or if it takes on a weird color or nasty smell it could indicate another type of infection

Answer 6

Im not sure mabe ask your mother or mabe school nurse.

Answer 7

Two things will make you wet "down there".

1) Your genitals keep themselves clean and healthy by sort of "rinsing" themselves with the fluids that they make... sometimes there's quite a bit of fluid and it can leak out a lot, so wearing panty liners or even light pads can be a good thing to help keep your clothes clean.

2) When your body is aroused sexually ("turned on" or "horny", even if you're not doing or thinking anything sexual) your genitals will get wetter and slipperier... so that a p***s can slide in there comfortably if you have s*x like it's telling you it wants (you don't have to, of course).

I'm a cook, so the only things I can really compare the healthy smell of a v****a/v***a to are foods and such... and the nearest I can think of is a fairly mild combination of fresh oysters and grated truffles - usually more on the sea-like side, but not "fishy" and certainly not unpleasant. It often smells a little stronger when you're sexually aroused, but not always.

If the stuff is clear or slightly milky (might be tinted faintly yellow or brown), slippery to maybe a little sticky, and smells "earthy, animal and a little like the ocean", it's almost certainly healthy and good. If it smells truly fishy or otherwise bad, it's probably an infection and you should see a doc.

Answer 8

It's just discharge...your body has a sort of self cleaning service and that's what comes of it.

Answer 9

this is so normal...you didn't mention if it stinks. Um please don't be quick to taste excretions, whether from your body or not.  This website has alot of useful information, check it out!!!
