A member asked:

My daughter has white vaginal discharge in her under wear but she has not started puberty or her period yet? help? she is 11 years old

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens: A developing teen will often have the equivalent of such whitish or straw colored discharge for several months before they start. This would be expected at least a year or so after breast bud development. Discharge prior to bud development is often caused by retained foreign material like toilet tissue.
