Some discharge is normal for a lot of women, but if there is an odor, burning, itching or soreness than it could be a yeast infection or fungal infection.
Make sure you are washing your hands or any object you use before masturbating and after. The vagina is a natural host to grow bacteria because it is warm and moist so you don't want to introduce any to the area!
You can try the over the counter product Monistat and see if that solves the problem. I also remember my grandmother saying a vinegar and water douche can help with odor problems. If it does not than you can have a different type of infection that requires a prescription.

It's very possible its a yeast infection though when you masturbate are you using toys or anything if so you may not be cleaning them properly so it can be causing a reoccurring yeast infection. Things that you can try are over the counter items to get rid of yeast infections and try using feminine wipes. Since you've also had a period depending on how often you masturbate could affect your cycle and if you are active in sports that can cause you to not have a cycle. Oh and I would not recommend you eat yogurt daily b/c that to can cause yeast infections if you eat to much b/c of the bacteria since its spoiled milk.

If you have itching, burning or soreness I would say yeast infection and that can be remedied with over the counter drugs (i.e. monistat), but if there are not any other symptoms then I would guess you have a bacterial infection and you need antibiotics. Both are very common in young girls.

You need to go to the doctor. It could be a bacteria or infection, but this is what a doctor has to check and it needs to be treated with medication. Ask your mother, older sister, aunt, a female teacher you like or mother of a friend about a gynokologist they trust. if you do not have somebody to talk to, somebody you can trust try planned parenthood. Look them up on the internet, for example. They don't help only with questions about abortion, parenting etc., they also can help you with sexual health questions. Don't be embarassed, you need to get help.
