13 yr. old girl with female problems, so women only answer please???

Question

My niece is 13 years old and she came to me with a concern about her body. She says she is passing alot of white and sometimes clear discharge out her vagina. And I didnt know what to tell her so I just said it might be a yeast infection and she got some OTC yeast infection medicine and took it all. But she says it didnt help. I keep trying to get her to go to the dr. but she wont go she says its too emberassing. Do you have any idea what this could be.

She also admitted she has had sex, so could it be a STD?

Answer 1

clear to white discharge with no odor is completely normal for a female who is of menstruating age. If the discharge were to become thicker and/or have a yellow or green color to it or take on an unusual odor, I would suggest a doc visit as it could be a yeast infection (and/or STD). In this situation, that doesn't seem to be the case. let her know this is normal and that all women experience it to some degree (discharge is the biproduct of the vagina ridding itself of dead cells). If she's still worried, have her talk to the school nurse concerning what is or is not normal for her age, or get her setup with an appt with an OBGYN - which if she's sexually active she needs to be having yearly exams anyhow. You can get affordable, confidential exams at the county health department.

Answer 2

It could be yeast or bacteria vaginosis. Look up those two and see if it matches up with any of her symptoms. If her discharge is clear and has the consistency of egg whites that means she's ovulating and when she is most fertile. Discharge changes at all times during a woman's cycle if this something she has never seen before she needs to go to the doctor. While a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis are not STDs if let untreated they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and then infertility. Please go with her so she can figure this out and get her on birth control.

Answer 3

13 and having sex? That is a bigger problem I think.

It could be a variety of things, one is definately an STD. Ask her if there is odor involved. Secondly, is she still having a regular period? Does the discharge continue while she is on her period? Is she just starting her period? Women discharge every month, but it is only 'bloody' during the period. Some women discharge much more than others. Clear is normal, anything beyond clear...there is a problem.

Answer 4

Talk to the girls parents and get her to a doctor... I don't think OTC medicines for a 13 year old are a wise idea unless recommened by a doctor.

If she is old enough to take on the responsibility of sex, she needs to do all that comes with that responsibility and that would be getting check ups...

Talk to the parents! I'd want to know if my daughter is not healthy!

Answer 5

i think of you will discover it has no longer something to do with ''westerners'' or attempting to delight them. i don't be conscious of approximately your previous question yet what i'm able to enable you be conscious of is the criminal age for marriage in many Muslim worldwide places... Algeria Male 21 lady 18 Tunisia Male 20 lady 17 Morocco and Turkey male and lady the two 18 To record some, even nevertheless in many Muslim and NON Muslim worldwide places that's accepted under the age of 17. Missouri and Hawaii Male 18 lady 15 Scotland the two sixteen New Zealand, Australia, Maine, Kentucky and an excellent sort of others male 18 lady sixteen. And definite in Iran that's male 15 and lady 13, Afghanistan Male 18 lady 14. so as you will discover Muslim or non Muslim worldwide places all have diverse criminal a while to marry. we are Muslim and what Allah (swt) helps is the main serious yet we've additionally to stay interior the barriers of the regulation in land, in spite of land that in line with possibility. Paedophilia is the sexual charm to prepubescent babies, as all of us be conscious of in Islam the female/male has to have reached puberty subsequently she/he's not repeat no longer prepubescent ergo it is not something to do with paedophilia. playstation in Indiana, Arizona, Minnesota, Missouri all can legally marry at 15 with parental consent. And in New Hampshire a woman between 13 and 17 can marry a male between the a while of 14 and 17 with parental consent.

Answer 6

First, I would tell her mother. Then, go to the doctor. If she did not have yeast infection before, a doctor should see her. If she is too embarrassed to see her own doctor, maybe go to a Planned Parenthood for a checkup?

Answer 7

ok. 2 things. Every women no matter if she has had sex, has a vaginal dischange that can be cler or whiteish. So, Even If u have had sex, EVERY WOMEN has a vaginal discharge. But, take her to the doc and see what he says. It could be std but most likely, the outcome will be good. Most likely, it is just a daily vaginal discharge. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Since she has had sex, I'm thinking that perhaps the problem is an STD; she should be checked out immediately by a doctor; her future fertility could be at stake!

Answer 9

I belive the discharge is fairly normal. If it is smelly, greenish-yellow, or really thick, then it would be an STD. But since she is or has been sexually active, she should go to a gyno.

Answer 10

Having white or clear discharge doesnt mean a STD because then you should be getting yellow discharge if that the sitaution. Usually alot of clear discharge isnt technically discharge it can happen from being aroused.
