Vaginal discharge with odor.

I'm eighteen years old and I've been having a vaginal discharge that is almost like a cloudy white color. On my panty liner or underwear it dries to a yellow color. I've looked up issues about this and everyone has said they smell a foul odor. I don't know if I would really call mine a foul odor, just not a pleasent one. Sometimes it's almost like a sour smell and sometimes it's not. I've had intercourse before, but this discharge has been happening even when I was eleven. I wash the external part with soap and water in the shower, I use wipes and cleansing products and douching. I still get a discharge but I really don't notice such a bad odor after it. I do notice that after douching, at the end of the insertion part there is a yellow goo on it. I don't know if all this is normal or not so I'm just checking to see if any other woman has this issue?

Thank you!

it sounds like you have chlamydia or gonorrhea..you should really get that checked out because it can damage your fallopian tubes...
Next time you have sex, check to see if you see a discharged coming from his penis, if you do, stop and tell him you guys need to go get tested.

its better to be safe and sure everything is okay, then to be in the dark
Good Luck
