Dont wait any longer go to your doctor to go over this problem. If not a general practioner then go to an ob-gyn as soon as you can. A year is too long to wait without professional intervention.

Maybe you get horny too often but check it out if it bothers you. It might comfort you to know that me and my girlfriends have that every day for 10 years now and there’s no infection involved. It’s natural in most cases.

Every woman gets vaginal discharge, it’s perfectly normal. It’s your vagina’s way of protecting itself from damage and flushing out bacteria. Some girls have more than others and often it smells a little too. Generally speaking, the discharge will increase when you’re ovulating (about halfway through your menstrual cycle) or when you are sexually aroused. But having discharge every day is fine, and the amount of discharge you have will decrease as you grow older.

If I were you I would wear panty liners to protect your underwear – they are basically very thin pads that you won’t notice at all, but that way your underwear won’t be wet all the time. Also make sure you wash your vagina every time you shower with a mild soap, that’s an important part of general hygiene and might help the smell too.

If you ever notice the discharge becomes a chunkier white, and your vagina’s lips become red and irritated and it really itches, or the smell is awful, those are signs of a yeast infection that needs to be treated. Since you said it’s itchy you may want to speak to your doctor if it continues to irritate you.

Nothing is wrong with you. Most girls start having clear/white vaginal discharge about 6 month-2 years before they have their first period (and you mentioned just starting yours, so everything seems normal). Even after getting your period, vaginal discharge is perfectly normal and your vagina’s way of keeping it’s self clean. You can try using pantyliners (or even a pad) to keep dry down there, it’ll make a big difference.
