Vaginal discharge, white, chunky, does not itch, does not smell.
I highly doubt it is a yeast infection. It's white-ish yellow, has some chunks, it does not smell any different than normal, and my vagina/vulva does not itch. It's not a really thick substance, either. It's more less just quite a bit that comes out at once (not a whole lot, but more than I can think normal)
I'm a 16 year old virgin. What could this be? Just part of my cycle, and the vagina is cleaning itself out? Or could this be an infection?

Hello,
What you are having is candidiasis or yeast infection. Take some precautionary measures like avoid wearing tight fitting clothing like jeans and pantyhose and underwear made from synthetic fibres. Remove wet or damp bathing suits immediately after swimming, avoid douching, perfumed soaps, bubble baths and toiletries, change underwear daily,wash underwear in hot water (to destroy fungi) and double rinse (to remove any irritating detergent) and take adequate nutrition and sleep. Also use some antifungal pessaries like clotrimazole, miconazole or nystatin which are available over the counter. If still the symptoms persist then oral antifungals may be needed.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
