What does it look like. And how do you know if you have a std from that? I am confused. First people say its normal to have discharge and I just read a question that says shes been having discharge and she thinks its an STD? I am 20 and the only discharge i ever had was my period..Is that normal?

You can tell if it's and STD if it has a odor or a greenish/yellowish color. However, some STD's have no symptoms. Discharge is normal and should be clear. this is why you don't see it, but it's there. WebMD gives great advice about discharge try checking them out.

It's completely normal to have a little 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 stress, nutritional status, pregnancy, usage of medications - including birth control pills, and sexual arousal.
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
Take care!

The discharge from STD'S is usually a yellowish or greenish color and smell like a bad fish odor. If she thinks that she has an std than she needs to get it checked out. If she lets it go to far, they can cause fertily problems. Have her go to her doctor right away.

Its different for every person. Just because you have it doesnt mean you have an std. If you only have your period thats normal for you 2. being 20 i am sure you have seen a gynocologist so if they didnt say anything i am sure your fine.
If you had alot thats more to worry about then none

u will know the differnce, due to the female cycle u will have discharge, it is usually white and pasty. or clear and stringy, the time to worry is when it is copius amounts, yellow green or red or brown tinged. red means fresh blood and brown means older blood. it is normal mostly, the best thing u could do is get used to your bod, watch after a period and see how the texture changes, see when u are ovulating and notice how thin it is. read a quick read on your cycle. Information is power.
