Discharge is normal and you'll continue to have it throughout your life. However, if the odor is unpleasant and smells like rotton fish or something like that, you should see a doctor, as this can be an infection.

most women get a little discharge for almost every day of their life-- but if it seems like an really abnormal amount then you should probably go to a doctor- or at least ask your mum or friends about it.

You'll have all the answers if you go and get a pap test-it reveals everything

well i wudnt try to get rid of it completely, coz it protects you downstairs(know what im sayin?! eh? eh? lol) what i mean is, it keeps your downstairs moist, and normal, and i think you can actually get an infection if you dont get discharge. so anyway, i know its annoyin coz i get it alot myself, but just have a sanitry towel when it gets heavy so you dont feel uncomfortable, and just, well, cope with it! lol soz if this doesent help

What's a pap test, Scully?

Here is some helpful information:
What is a Pap test?
The Pap test, also called a Pap smear, checks for changes in the cells of your cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens into the vagina (birth canal). The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer.
A Pap test can save your life. It can find the earliest signs of cervical cancer - a common cancer in women. If caught early, the chance of curing cervical cancer is very high. Pap tests also can find infections and abnormal cervical cells that can turn into cancer cells. Treatment can prevent most cases of cervical cancer from developing.
Getting regular Pap tests is the best thing you can do to prevent cervical cancer. About 13,000 women in America will find out they have cervical cancer this year. And in 2004, 3,500 women died from cervical cancer in the United States.
Do all women need Pap tests?
It is important for all women to have pap tests, along with pelvic exams, as part of their routine health care. You need a Pap test if you are:
21 years or older
under 21 years old and have been sexually active for three years or more
There is no age limit for the Pap test. Even women who have gone through menopause (when a woman's periods stop) need regular Pap tests.
How often do I need to get a Pap test?
It depends on your age and health history. Talk with your doctor about what is best for you. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends the following:
If you are younger than 30 years old, you should get a Pap test every year.
If you are age 30 or older and have had three normal Pap tests for three years in a row, talk to your doctor about spacing out Pap tests to every two or three years.
If you are ages 65 to 70 and have had at least three normal Pap tests and no abnormal Pap tests in the last 10 years, ask your doctor if you can stop having Pap tests.
