I Have Only Gotten White Stuff In My Underwear, What's Going On?

You are a growing girl and so your body is going to be going through some changes that are bound to freak you out at first. Before you start thinking that you’re some kind of alien, it is important to know that anything you experience in puberty is probably completely normal.

That "white stuff” in your underwear is completely natural. All women get it at some point in their lives. You said in your question that you haven’t had your first period yet. Well, this is a sign that it is on its way. The white stuff is called discharge and will probably be with you for the majority of your adult life.

All discharge is, is a biological liquid that is expelled from your vagina. It is usually a sign that your vagina is cleaning itself and shows that you are perfectly healthy down there! The amount of discharge that you secrete tends to vary on where you are in your menstrual cycle. If you find that you are producing quite a lot, then it probably means you are ovulating at that your period will be along in a week or two. Discharge is thickest at your most fertile stage in your menstrual cycle. A thin discharge shows you are not ovulating. You may also find that after exercising there is a lot in your underwear, again this is perfectly natural.

However, discharge can give you some signs that there is a problem. In order to check that you are healthy, try familiarising yourself with these signs. If your discharge is thick, white and odourless, this is called your Cyclical discharge which occurs at the beginning and end of your menstrual cycle. This is perfectly normal. If your discharge is clear and stretchy then this signifies ovulation. Now we come to the bad ones. If your discharge is thick and white with the texture of cottage cheese, then this is Candidiasis which could signify a yeast infection or inflamed cervix. Trichomoniasis makes discharge look copious, green and frothy. The sexually transmitted infection (STI) can make your discharge look creamy white or yellow, it will also be odorous. Another STI is Chlamydia which will make your discharge look purulent and malodorous. And finally, bacterial vaginosis will make your discharge thin, with a grey or green colour and a fishy odour.

However, if you have not started your periods yet then there is absolutely no need to worry about the bad discharge symptoms.

Guys calm down, I'm 14 and have been getting this for quite a while. I was embaressed to tell anyone so I researched it. Its all completly normal, chances are most of your friends are going through the same worries. At first I thought this may be a yeast infection but its not its discharge (this is your body cleaning itself out), and if youve already had your period and your still getting this discharge thats normal too, ive had my period for about a year now and still get the discharge everyday. There's nothing to worry about. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm 12 and I started my period about 2 months ago. I have white discharge in my underwear...sometimes its liquid and sometimes its hard. My doctor told me its perfectly normal and to just wear some Panty liners so it doesn't mess up your underwear. Panty liners are just like pads but it doesn't absorb that much. I know it stinks but its just what us girls have to deal with!

Thanks and good luck

It's vaginal discharge so your period will come soon hope this helps

Well dear buddy!

You are in a growing age and this is the time when along with the periods, female usually have a white discharge. Do not worry it is totally normal and its a symptom of adulthood. The white stuff is released not every time like blood but it is released from time to time with irregularity. Still, you need to take care that it should not be a regular discharge. Still if you feel some kind of scary feelings then you can drink milk on daily basis.

discharge

Take care have fun!

It's your body's way of cleaning it's self out it's REALLY normal to have the white stuff along w/ your  period but if the white stuff is clumpy or smelly it could be a yeast infection and or if its clumpy you need to see a doctor immediately it could be a serious disease that vagina's can get.

Relax! Its just discharge and every girl gets it. If it changes to a yellow or green colour you could have a yeast infection and you should talk to a doctor or a trusted adult. But if it stays white or clear you are perfectly normal! =))

Its a way of cleaning out your body parts. Its natural. You will get it for about 2 years then you will start your period. If you are worried about it tell someone. You will start to get used to it. I'm 13 and I started geting it when I was 9. Its called mucus btw. But I still havnt had my period.
My bestie had mucus for 2 weeks then she got her period but you never know!!!
When the disscharge gets heavy wear a liner untill it thins out again.

I'm experiencing this too, I haven't told anyone so I'm hoping it's nothing serious. It is itchy sometimes, does this mean anything? It's whiteish cream coloured and sometimes dries quite crusty in my underwear. All I want to no is should I be worried, and should I tell someone? Thanks!

Ive had the White stuff in my underwear for at least a year now. Ive started my period last month and I'm fourteen. But I was hoping it was going to be gone when I started but its just all clumpy and nasty and I don't like it I havent told my mom about it but she knows about  my period I just don't understand why the white stuff is there.

I'm having the same problem, this white/clear stuff in my panites - and no it doesnt smell or nothing!
I've had it for about 2 months now, and its freaking me out. I'm 12 and I havnt started my period yet! So have you got any suggestions on this!?!?!

Don't worry I'm 16 and been having it for almost 2 years.
I freaked out about it at first but noticed it was just normal.
Just put a panty liner in your underwear to keep dry.

=S I just went on the internet to find out how long it will last untill I finaly got my period, coz I'v already had it for over a yr! ....sucks to find out it can last up to 2.. =\  I'm already 15 and I don't know anybody else my age that doesn't have their period...like me.   And as much as my friends say I'm lucky....I often feel left out...

I'm having the same problem its really annoying but its been going on for almost an year and nothing has happened yet

You I'm 12 and I also get that stuff in my under wear. At first I was about 9 or 10 and I used to freak out but now I'm used to it. I guess it just gets old after awhile. Don't worry about it,I don't.

White discharge is nothing but signal...either you r body is  ready for sex or if you have like gel type of discharge which means you r body is weak....so better start  drinking milk...you will see results,(my grandma said when women is weak her back bone melts.....so if you have notice back pain wt white gel discharge start drinking milk...tk

You I have the same thing and I'm 12 and I haven't started my period yet. I have been having this guck for like 3 years now. Don't worry about it.

It's just discharge don't freak out every girl gets it. It's the circle of life lol. You'll get your TOM soon.

Its a discharge... I get them all the time...and I'm only 11

Me too but I am supposed to start next year

Its nuthing much its just cleaning its self out don't worry!! :))

White substance that you are pointing out can be vaginal discharge. If this discharge is free from any odor and you are not having itching and burning then no need to worry because vagina secrete some fluids in order to drain dead vaginal cells. Quantity and thickness of these secretions depends upon stage of the cycle. During estrogen phase of the cycle, these secretions are less viscous and are more in quantities and during progesterone phase, these secretions become more viscous.

In your case, white stuff on you underwear is vaginal discharge that contains dead vaginal cells. This is normal and does not indicate any problem until it has odor.

I'm 12 and this weird white stuff has been appearing in my knickers and I was just scared on what it was I get it like EVERY DAY almost

I AM  afraid to tell my mum but I don't know what is going on maybe I should ask my doctor but I'm shy

I have the same problem its discharge, I'm 11 and recently looked it up, in about  years time we will start our period

Ive had the Whitish stuff for like 2 months now! Does this mean I am going to start my period soon?

I have had the same problem for like a year now and I just started my period last month I'm 12 it's just a normal thing for a lot of girls and it is just your body cleaning itself out

If it looks like cottage cheese it may be a yeast infection but if it is just smooth looking white stuff it is vaginal discharge so you will have a period soon hope this helps

I get it too, and I just got my period tonight..
I was glad because all my friends said you don't want it but I'm happy I did.
That muccus comes out naturally but the hornier you get the more comes out .. Hope I helped :)

I'm 11 and ive been getting that to it smells alittle and its gooey and ive started that like 2 weeks ago what is it

Thats has been happening to me too.
Last night I couldnt sleep cause I was cramping
and there was an unpleasent smell and the goopy white
stuff was there.

I have the same problem.I am scared to tell my mom.I need help.I'm scared

If it doesn't smell fishy or unpleasant, if it doesn't accompany itching, if the consistency is smooth and not chunky, then it sounds like a very normal vaginal discharge that many women experience, myself included.

Of course if you are unsure or concerned, see your doctor.

I have had it for years before I even started my period. Its your body's natural way of cleaning its self out to prevent infection.

I'm 15 and I have my period and I still get the "mucas" everyday! And I no its normal but its really gross and smells really bad

Iv been getting this white stuff I my knickers I'm 14 andi havent started my periods but I don't want to tell my mum..iv researched it and been told its discharge its her everyday and I don't want to wear a panty liner every single day will it stop when start my period? Please help :\

Um, not quite sure haha. But Jannifer sounds very right.

I hate that stuff it ruins my under wear and smells GROSS!!!!!!

Sometimes it mean your about to get your period or a yeast infection

Every girl/woman has a discharge it's how it is. Before a period women get a thicker discharge. It is only a problem if you have a smelly, itchy or coloured discharge meaning green or yellow. If you're worried see a doctor also if you're diabetic you can also get discharge.

Its don't know but I am late my period and scared but I never had sex its been a month late since my period

I get white stuff but I doesnt smell at all and its all hard! I have no idea what it si and I would really like an answer!

Well its a process. This does not me you will get your period but possible

Ugh I'm 11 Years Old and Ive been getting  white stuff in my undies, gross My friend and I have the problem Too But I did it more then her D: Its really gross if you ask me ._.

I had un protected sex with this guy put he pulled out in time and I saw it. I havent got my period yet but I have this white stuff coming out too

I'm scared to tell my mom too she knows but thats just because she does the laundry and I'm getting cuts on my vigia and I don't no why please help got to go change my underwear!! =(

Iv got the sam problem, I think its just when your near your period, get it checked out if you think theres a problem

I am 13 and ive had that white discharge  for a litte while.I went to the doctors and they said that its my body cleaning its self out.he also said that it happens to almost every girl.

Hi I'm a girl and I'm 12 I have the same thing but it jus started today I was wondering it grosses me out and I want to just get the period and forget the white stuff btw what is it

I wouldn't worry I have had the same thing for about 1 year to 2 years and I have my period. If its not white and smells then it is possible it can be an std. Mine is on going and everyday. If you are having unprotected sex it could be your partners "Stuff". I have mine and still have the white discharge everyday . I don't know if theres a way to get ride of it so if anyone has the answer to that
Thanks...

Its stress!! Am 16 an last aug I took myself off the contraceptive injection, I was on it for a year but split up with my boyfriend so there wasnt much point in me being on it, now my periods are only just going back to normal, an ive started getting lots of discharge in my knickers an I don't know weather its because of the injection or something to do with my periods, I should be on them know but I have discharge instead I don't know whats wrong with me :S

You may start your period soon but not to worry just wear a pad

Maybe you ar getting yr pie-rods

You may be starting your peried

Vaginal discharge is what it is so you will start start your period soon hope this helps

I wouldn't worry I have the same problem everyday all day. I do have sex but I'm careful and I know whats going on and I'm safe. If you are having unprotected sex and your partner is realising into you it could be his stuff coming back out.  If its not white and smells it could be a std. I have had the same prob. Seance I was 13 so its been 3 years I have had the problem its just a white discharge its your body's way of cleaning its self out ..

That would be cervical discharge, it is very normal as long as it stays in the consistency and smell. The discharge white or transparent in color is a sign of ovulation, its letting you know that youu are in your fertile days. However if the discharge is yellow to green looking with a very bad odor to it then that could be a sign of an infection which in that case you would have to go get checked

I am going through the same thing. The white stuff is not always white though it will most likely be yellow at least once. If it starts getting heavy you should put on a pantiliner. No reason to freak out. It is just your body getting ready for puberty and maturing. The more you understand this the more relaxed you will be and regular it will be.

You could have a yeast infection. They have over the counter things to help but I recommend that you go to your doctor because it may be something else.

If it is cottage cheese looking it could be yeast so you may have a yeast infection. They have over the counter drugs, but if you have never had a yeast infection and are unsure you should go to the doctor.

I have this every day, 12 and have spotting. I told my mom and she didn't even know what it was.
She thinks its a yeast infection but it doesn't itch or smell. So its normal.

I am getting it every day I have been for ages but I havent started my period what does that mean

I am getting that too. It's not itchy.. But its gooey and smells bad!! I don't think a 10 year old should be getting this!!

I'm starting 2 get white stuff in my panties do boys get it 2

No. White discharge can be a symptom of a number of things, from normal vaginal secretions to a yeast infection. The only way to be sure you are pregnant is a pregnancy test and subsequent ultrasound.

A yeast infection

Yeast infection most likely

If it is thick and itches you could have a yeast infection, or if you have any pains with it you could have a vaginal infection, I would go to the doctor if you have any symptoms and get it properly diagnosed and treated
