I asked my doctor but I had only been having a period for a few months at that time. She said not to worry about it, as long as I wasn't bleeding all the time and it would stable out along with my periods. Years later, I still have the same problem. Can someone help me?

I'm 16. I've never had sex so that obviously means no kids or abortions either. And I've never had ANY kind of sex so STD is not likely. And no it's not abnormal discharge; it's not bloody and doesn't look like cottage cheese or anything.

NORMAL VAGINAL DISCHARGE
All women have some vaginal discharge. Normal discharge may appear clear, cloudy white, and/or yellowish when dry on clothing. It may also contain white flecks and at times may be thin and stringy. Changes in normal discharge can occur for many reasons, including menstrual cycle, emotional stressors, nutritional status, pregnancy, usage of medications - including birth control pills, and sexual arousal.
EFFECTS OF THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
The menstrual cycle affects the vaginal environment. You may notice increased wetness and clear discharge around mid-cycle. The pH balance of the vagina fluctuates during the cycle and is the least acidic on the days just prior to and during menstruation. Infections, therefore, are most common at this time
SIGNS OF ABNORMAL DISCHARGE
Any changes in color or amount of discharge may be a sign of a vaginal infection. Vaginal infections are very common; most women will experience some form of a vaginal infection in their lifetime. If you experience any of the symptoms below, this may be a sign of vaginal infection:
Discharge accompanied by itching, rash or soreness
Persistent, increased discharge
Burning on skin during urination
White, clumpy discharge (somewhat like cottage cheese)
Grey/white or yellow/green discharge with a foul odor

Okay, in order to answer this question, ill need a full gyno history. Starting with age, any children, births and abortions, and so forth. Because without any history is like a toss up on what it could be. for me, i usually see discharge in my pts. when they have an std im assuming that its is not bloody discharge here.
If you give more history ill be sure to help you out even more.

Discharge is normal. And you can get a second opinion from another doctor (I'm assuming you went to an internist, not an gyno).
However, if the discharge has a foul odor or looks "unusual" in any way, you might want to see somebody else.

Years later ?? You've been waiting all this time ? Are you on the birth control pill ? If you are .. sometimes switching to another kind of pill will stop that. How long since you've seen this doctor ?? Go to another one. Good Luck! :)
