“clear, no odor, no itch, no belly pain, no burning, never sexually active”. I teach pediatric residents and medical students the importance of knowing what is normal in order to recognize what is abnormal. If you’re up for it, I’d like to share Vaginal Discharge 101 with you….
Vaginal discharge is a mixture of fluid, cells, and bacteria that lubricates and protects the vagina. Normal discharge is usually:“white, no odor, itchy, no belly pain, yes burning, sexually active”. Yeast infections are common. They are not STDs . Small amounts of yeast are normal in the vagina, digestive tract, mouth, and on the skin. Our immune system helps keep the growth of yeast in check.
I'm just glad you're offering advice to young confused teens. Wish these things were openly talked about when I was younger.
