Teen, Have White Discharge, Brown Stains On Underwear. What Is The Cause?
I am very young and since I was 10- I m 13 I ve been having brown stains in my underwear. My discharge is white, and that has never changed. But somehow when I take a bath, then the next day comes there s a half brown stain and I take a bath again. I hardly took baths when I was 12 so I always thought that was the problem..Or maybe it was my discourage piling up? What could it be?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
No any discharge are normal, neither brown nor white. I would advice you maintain strictly perineal hygiene, if some lotions, soap, etc.. cause irritation , avoid them. Mostly vaginal ,persistent discharge occurs due to infectious factor( bacteria, fungus ), and sometime noninfectious (irritant) factor. To clarify you need laboratory investigation ( complete blood count, urine analysis, pH test , wet mount test , KOH preparation, culture ) and Gynecologist consultation, because your discharge for so long time is not normal condition.
I wish you good luck and speedy recovery,
Hope this helps and I have answered your query.
Best Regards,
Dr.Mihail
