17/F
I have had my period for 2 years and it finally started to become regular for the most part. the only problem is i have so much discharge in between periods that i have to wear a full on pad and by the end of the day that is full. i know its bad, but anymore i just put in a tampon and go because then i dont have to sit in it. i put in a regular when i wake up and by the end of the day its full and leaking with discharge. should i go to the gynocologist? help!
Every female has discharge. Most get by with a few marks in their underwear, or possibly wear a pantyliner if it is particularly heavy.
It is not a good idea to wear tampons if you aren't bleeding. It's not healthy to leave a tampon in for long periods of time. It could irritate your skin or cause an infection - which is, incidentally, one cause of a lot of discharge.
If you are genuinely having this much leakage, it is best to see a doctor. While it may be nothing (and therefore your mind gets some reassurance!), it may be an infection which is very treatable.

Every girl is diffrent some get more discharge than others and some barley get any. So I wouldnt worry about it just make sure you change your pad/tapons often!
