Is it normal for a 13-14 year old girl to have leukorrhea?

Patient's question:

After the onset of puberty, girls begin to experience menstruation, and a gradual increase in vaginal discharge also occurs. Is it normal for girls to have more vaginal discharge during puberty?

Doctor's answer:

Girls gradually begin to have leukorrhea during puberty, but the amount of leukorrhea is generally not too much. However, the amount of leukorrhea can vary from person to person, so if a girl has excessive leukorrhea during puberty, it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
Normally, a woman's leukorrhea is colorless, odorless, and transparent, like egg white. Therefore, if a girl's leukorrhea during puberty is only slightly more and there are no abnormalities in color, odor, or texture, there is no need to worry excessively—it is considered normal. If a girl's leukorrhea appears colored or has an odor, there may be an issue.
