might be a silly question - Women's Health Message Board

but i'm just finally curious enough to ask. I have a discharge pretty much all through the month, I know this is normal, but is it normal for it to dry yellow? it stains most of my underwear, and I know pantyliners would help with this, but I'm just curious. I also think it kinda smells, but i don't know. some help would be appreciated, thanks.

PS I asked the FNP when i went in and she (well she wouldn't really listen to all of my questions) cut me off and said it's normal for women to have discharge.

Its normal to have discharge but i dont think its normal to have it all through out the month non stop- Unless this is something you've had for a very very long time.

The fact that it smells and that its yellow could indicate that you have an infection, i say see a different doctor just to be sure.

It's normal (and expected) to have some sort of discharge all month long. This discharge varies in consistency and amount.

As far as the "drying yellow," I experience that as well. My discharge will be completely clear or cloudy white, but will dry a slightly tinged yellow color. And I know that I don't have in infection. I think it's normal.
