MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HS A CLEAR JELLY-LIKE VAGINAL DISCHARGE Hello Doctor, I've got a 14 year old daughter. I've noticed that she has a see-through jelly-like vaginal discharge in her panties. I've asked her if she has any discomfort of any sort but she said no. Maybe you could put some light on the subject. My husband thinks that she might be sexually active! Beckie, New York REPLY Beckie, Has your daughter started to get her menstrual periods? When was her last period? And when did you notice the clear vaginal discharge? Does she have any vaginal itching or any foul smell of the discharge? FOLLOW-UP She is due for her next period in 7 days, there is no smell or itching around the vagina. It is just that we are worried that it might be something that she picked up, some STD. Or like my husband still says that she is sexually active. REPLY Beckie, I think that what your daughter has is vaginal discharge associated with ovulation - this is normal in all women. A women ovulates (produces an egg from her ovaries) at about 14 days after her period and approximately 14 days before the next period. At this time she may have a white jelly like vaginal discharge from the vagina. This discharge has no particular smell and does not cause any itching. It decreases spontaneously before she gets her next period. Since your daughter is 7 days from her next period, it is likely that she still has a little of this vaginal discharge going on. Please do not worry - this is very normal. If she had picked up a disease, she would have had other symptoms like itching, foul smell, inflammation of the genitals etc. And a vaginal discharge has no relation to sexual relations. It can occur in girls who have had sexual relations as well as in girls who are virgins. To know more about normal vaginal discharge, please see - Normal Vaginal Discharge I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask a follow-up question if you need more information.
