Would ask your : Parent to bring you to the doctor so that the cause of the discharge / odor can be evaluated. There are some kind of infections that a female can get even if they are not sexually active. Take care.

You should talk to: Your mom if you can and see a gynecologist or pediatrician who can check things out. You may just be noticing changes that are a normal part of puberty and development.

Could be : Bacterial vaginosis (bv) an overgrowth of normal flora. See your provider for good diagnosis and treatment.

Odor: Amazing hygiene can actually work against some people. Depending on what you do, you can upset the natural defenses in your vagina. Over-cleansing can actually be detrimental. Your vagina has a natural ph and natural flora. Upsetting it could be counter-productive. See your doctor to get some basic tests however, since odor can be indicative of some problems.
