Dear Counselor, before and after my periods, I see some fluids coming from my private parts which is colorless and sometimes white in color. What should I do to solve that problem?

Not all vaginal discharge should be a problem. Some discharge is for cleaning purposes and lubrication. It tends to concentrate towards a woman’s periods. It’s normal for a woman to experience vaginal discharge. If this discharge is colorless and does not smell badly and if it is not associated with pain and is not excessive, then it’s normal. However, if it is has bad smell or excessive, then it could be due to an infection. You are advised to consult your school nurse or even a gynecologist. Meanwhile, keep yourself clean enough.
