Im 18 years old and I have a few concerns. First Im not sexually active and Im still a virgin.

I realized that I have a discharge which varies all the time. From clear to like a white to yellow to brown. I mean its never consistant. Sometimes it'll be clear for a week and randomly it will be yellow or something and there is so much of it. Gross I know. My other concern is the smell down there. I always wash and yet it never seems to not have a decent scent. I have tried many different soaps and yet it still has a smell.

You may have an infection and should probably get into the Dr for an exam.

If the discharge is clear, you're okay, but if it takes on a color or smells, that's a good sign of infection.

I agree with Lana, probably an infection, but good news is it'll most likely be easy to treat. That is if you get yourself to a doc!

Be careful with washing with scented soaps, as that could make it worse.

It could be bacterial vaginosis which is basically an imbalance between the bacterias which cause a ph imbalance. It is however normal for discharge to turn slightly yellow mid cycle due to hormones so I wouldn't worry too much. If it's bv they treat with antibiotics but then of course there's always the chance the bacteria will grow back with the same imbalances. There's a gel called Balance Activ that is supposed to treat bv, I don't know if it works but there's alot of people online that say it worked for them so you might want to try a week of those to see if it helps. If you have to wash with soap it's best to get a ph balanced feminine wash to help with the ph issue.
