"I woke up this morning
with a white creamy
substance in my underwear?"

Dear Jacqui,
I'm teenager and I woke up this morning with a white creamy substance in my underwear. What could this be and is it unusual? Bonnie.

Dear Bonnie,
It could simply be natural discharge. This sometimes happens when our hormone levels change, and, at your age, this is possible, especially if you have your menstruation.

Do you have any other symptoms such as itching or penetrating odor? If not, it's nothing to worry. If other symptoms are present, it is advisable to get a medical check up.

You might have caught a little vaginal infection that can easily be cured. Be sure to read our section on vaginal infections. Just click under vaginal infections in our advice part of our website www.veryprivate.com. Then go to vaginal infections. You can learn how to take care of yourself properly. Best wishes.
