I am 12,and is it normal to have white,creamy looking vaginal discharge? Is it because of my period? I have been having it since 4th grade,which is when I started my period.

Yes, COMPLETELY normal to have white creamy discharge. When you worry is when it's yellow or brown, and has a bad odor- which can be a sign for infection. Your discharge is nothing to worry about.

The Palo Alto Medical Foundation says this:
"Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection."
I know that I experience some kind of discharge every day. At some points during my cycle, it's white; at others, it's clear. Discharge can indicate what portion of your cycle you're in. It also helps "flush out" the vagina since the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. ;)

Does the discharge have any odor? Are you still a virgin (could you possibly have and STD?), could it be yeast infection?, have you inserted anything into your vagina (other than maybe a tampon?)
possibilities include, infection (yeast), STD, normal discharge.
If you are still concerned, you could always go to the health department and have a pelvic exam done with cultures...it just might be an overgrowth of normal vaginal flora and you have nothing to worry about
good luck

This is not a yeast infection, this is perfectly normal. If you had a yeast infection the discharge would resemble cottage cheese. This is your vagina's self cleaning system. It flushes out any bacteria to keep you clean and healthy.

You most likely have a yeast infection ~ check out the symptoms on Web MD. Go see a doctor (preferably a ob/gyn) to make sure you don't have an STD or get medication over-the-counter.

As long as your not itching, I think it's normal. If it were a yeast infection, you would be very itchy and the discharge would be more clumpy (like cottage cheese).

It is normal but if it has an odor or you experience any discomfort with it you should have your parents call the doctor. Talk to your caregiver/parent about this as well.

there's nothing wrong, its not a yeastinfection becuase then you would have a yellow colored discharge. In any case its completely normal, and unless your feeling any discomfort or itchiness you shouldn't worry.

It could be caused by your period, maybe. However, I believe you should have a medical exam as that is a symptom of diabetes. You may not have it, but you should go to the doctor and find out what it is anyway.
