i don't know if it's a problem or not but for a about 2 years i've had alot of discharge and it is white but sometimes yellow. it's also really watery. i haven't had any kind of sex before so it can't be an STD.

i'm really confused whether this is normal or not. if you could help me out that would be great.

thank you

Hi gymnastb, welcome!

Some vaginal discharge is normal and will vary over your cycle. If the discharge isn't thick and not foul smelling and you aren't itchy or burny it may be your normal discharge. Have you had a recent pelvic exam and pap test to make sure everything is ok? A good article on vaginal discharge is: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003158.htm If you haven't had a recent pelvic exam it would be a good idea to schedule one just to establish a base line for when you get older and do become sexually active. Thanks for posting. I hope you will come back and let us know how you're doing.

Good luck,

      Jill

also it could be a result of masturbation. women can have fluid discharge when they orgasm, and it doesn't always come out right after. every woman also has a certain amount of normal discharge, associated with the mucous lining of the cervix, over her menstrual cycle, probably right before she gets her period. it doesn't sound like anything to worry about to me, but yes, you should get an exam anyway or at least ask a doctor about it to be on the safe side.
