Patient's question:
I am 13 years old. My white discharge started appearing on the sanitary pad with a slightly earthy yellow color. Later, it became a faint yellow. Now, there is a light green or lemon yellow on the sanitary pad. I went to bed around 6:00 AM and wasn't very hungry. By 8:00 or 9:00 AM, my stomach starts to hurt a bit. I feel very stressed and anxious.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment.
What kind of help do I need:
- I went to bed around 6:00 AM and wasn't very hungry. By 8:00 or 9:00 AM, my stomach starts to hurt. Is it because I didn't eat breakfast?
- My white discharge turned yellow and green on the sanitary pad. Today, my left side of the stomach hurts a bit. What's going on?
- I am very stressed and anxious. Could I be pregnant? I feel so sad. Will it get better on its own if I stay clean? Could I be pregnant?
- I haven't had any sexual activity, but in the past, I had some itching down there, so I just touched it with my hands. Could I be pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, during puberty, girls may have unstable ovarian function due to the underdeveloped hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Additionally, emotional fluctuations, stress, intense exercise, changes in environment and climate, and nutritional and endocrine imbalances can contribute to this.Based on your situation, your menstrual cycle appears normal, but the itching is likely caused by an infection. Avoid scratching the affected area, maintain good hygiene, and change your underwear frequently.
It is recommended to visit a hospital for relevant examinations 3-7 days after your period ends to identify the underlying cause. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment.
