Abnormal vaginal discharge.

I am 19 years old and in the passed year every once in a while I'll get this vaginal discharge that reminds me of an egg white before you cook it! (sorry if i'm being gross) Sometimes there is just so much it pours out of me and this will only last a few days. Just recently this happened again but then it turned into a light yellow creamy discharge with no odor. I also feel full in my stomach, like I have to go number 2! I am sexually active and have hpv, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or if it's my hormones maybe or ovulation? Does your discharge change as you get older? I'm a little bit of a hypocondriac so I pretty much think I have cervical cancer and that I'm going to die! ( a little extreme I know, but this is what webmd tells me)

Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.

The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when a woman is breastfeeding or when a woman is sexually excited.

Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. Some other types of infections such as yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis can also cause discharge that is usually accompanied by odor such as beer/yeast/fish.

I would recommend that if you have any of these signs or any concerns regarding this you consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and for proper treatment should you have anything other than just a normal vaginal discharge.
