josephballard4 answered Sunday December 18 2005, 8:31 am: Have you tried just waiting a little longer those symptoms could be bad symptoms of well you know your period. Basically let me put it like this try speaking to a private doctor you can ask for one at a hospital sign up for one trust me private doctors are doctors who just check in with you no one else not even your parents so try it.

It's normal for young girls/teens to have their first period last anywhere between 2 and 7 days. It is also normal if your first few periods do not come on a regular schedule for a little while.
Discharge is said to usually begin about 6 months before a girl begins menstruating. This happens because of a change in the level of hormones and an increase in vaginal secretions. It is also a way for your body to rid itself of dead skin cells and bacteria.
Since menstruation starts at varying ages (as early as 10), my unprofessional guess is that you've just been expriencing a part of the pre-first-time menstruation process. However, if the discharge has always smelled bad, causes itch and burn, then there is the possibility of a vaginal infection. Again, my guess would be that since this has been going on for a couple of years, your body has just been going through a stage of menstruation without the discharge of blood. I will assume that you've never had sex, but if a young girl has had sex, having a constant discharge can (not always) be a possible sign of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). A vaginal infection or the possibility of having a STD is something that definitely should make you seek medical care as soon as possible. But I'm thinking neither of these things is your problem. It is my opinion that all is normal. I've included two site addresses that will give you more information on beginning your menstrual cycle. Both are geared towards young girls/teens.
If you still feel confused after this answer and going to these sites, I'm afraid that I would suggest going to a gynecologist even though you said you did not want to do that. I know that the experience of going to a doctor for "female" issues feels really embarrassing - especially the first few times. However, do keep in mind that doctors are used to these sorts of examinations and when they know it is your first, they are usually more than gentle and give lots of explanations...or at least they should.
Also, I believe there are several health professionals connected to this site, so hopefully if my answer isn't complete enough, one of them will respond to you. I wish you luck. And, as odd as it may sound, congratulations. You're becoming a woman! Cool. [ susana's advice column | Ask susana A Question ]
