It was around the end of last month to this month that this discharge appeared, will it continue to appear?

Yes, it's super normal for discharge to appear and continue appearing after it starts! Like, it's not that it will disappear and never come back. It's a sign that your body is growing and getting ready for your first period.

What is discharge?

Vaginal discharge is a somewhat transparent or whitish liquid that comes out of your vagina. It helps to clean and protect that part of your body, you know? It's like little drops of water that come out to keep everything healthy, expelling what's not needed. Some girls have more, others less, and the amount can change during the month. It's super normal!

And now that it has appeared?

Now that you're having discharge, it will probably continue to appear, with some changes from time to time. This means your body is starting to work with the rhythm of hormones! Most girls start menstruating about one or two years after the discharge begins. Don't worry, it's a sign that your body is developing really well!

Your discharge might become more intense or change a bit in smell or color close to your period, or at other times of the month. If it starts to have a very strong smell, strange color (like green or gray), or causes itching or burning, then it's worth talking to a trusted adult to take a look and see if everything is okay, okay?
