Period Issues


Question Posted Sunday April 4 2010, 12:25 am

I got my period near the end of 2008-so I've had it for almost 2 years now
15/f

It never bothered before, but lately I've been noticing some slightly concerning things about my period...

-My period is NEVER regular. I've gone months apart without having a period. I don't think I've had my period in quite awhile. It just skips around randomly... Some times I'll go two months apart and then have another period a week after that one is finished.
-I wear a pantyliner everyday...Not just for odor though. For some reason, (and this is going to sound gross...) I always get sticky, clear, odd-smelling discharge in my underwear. I also sweat a lot down there...unfortunately.
-Also, when I AM on my period, it seems rather normal. It lasts anywhere from 3-8 days (never gone longer or shorter, I don't think) and it's a pretty normal flow.
-Sometimes, I'll get very light, very quick periods, very soon after i have a more normal one. I'm not sure why that is...

Anyways...should I be very concerned?
Is there any way I can treat this, if I need to at all, without assistance from a doctor? Of course, if it is highly advised to see a doctor, I certainly will.
On the topic of a doctor-what should I tell them questions should I ask if I need to do so?

Thank you so much, any help is appreciated.

you shouldnt be worried at all.when your younger your period takes years to really regulate.if your 19 and your period is still irregular then you should go see a doctor but at the moment its still getting into routine.
the discharge is normal and the odour is probably because of the hair down there.if you wax or shave or remove it then the odor will go away.there are also unscented soaps and deoderants for down there too.check in the idle where you but your pads from.
to me everything sounds normal.unles theres itching,lumps,redness etc then i wouldnt be worried

Sometimes a woman's period is delayed, I have gone a month without a period before and I will end up getting the first week of the following month. If you have gone TWO months without a period then I would make an appointment with your gynecologist. Two months is a very long time to go without a period.

Discharges are normal for woman, I usually experience discharges after I had my period sometimes during and before.

To help with foul smell down there, You could try shaving (Hair traps odor) You could also try using baby powder or I know this sounds weird but spray on deodorant also helps a bit too.

3-8 days is a normal flow, Mine is about that long too. However, If you go two months without a period I would call the doctor that is a bit too long..
