Q: Is Vaginal Discharge Normal?

I have a small amount of vaginal discharge everyday. I'm 28 and i've had it for a least 12 years. It does have a slight odor but not bad. It is white and I usually have about a nickel size on my panties everyday. I always thought this was normal. I have 2 toddlers and I go for yearly check-ups so if it was something abnormal wouldn't my doctor say something? Someone told me once that when you start to have or think about sex this happens. I don't think about or have sex all the time.
I have no itching or burning with it.
I have tried douching and not douching. I only wear loose cotton panties. I did have a yeast infection once after having a anitbiotic for strepp throat so I know what it feels like.
Any answers or solutions anyone can give me I would appreciate greatly.

Yes It's Normal

Vaginal disharge is very normal and if you did have something the doctor is suppose to tell you. Not all yeast infections are the same so if the first time you got a yeast and it itch and burn, it doesn't have to happen the same way the next time...I know alot of people who have had a yeast and had no kind of symtoms meaning no itching,no strange or foul smell,and their vaginal discharge did not change in texture. Also I have read that the vagina is self-cleansing so it unnecessary to douche. So if you think that you have a yeast you should go to the doctor to make sure everything is ok.

Hope I help
