Hi White discharge is normal in most women. Like tears in your eyes and saliva in mouth, vaginal secretions are produced to keep the area moist, and prevent drying. As long as there is no itching, and bad odour, and the colour is not green or brown, the discharge is normal. The discharge changes through the cycle. After periods, it tends to be dry, then watery, and then thick and sticky, and then you get your periods. Getting treated for it does not help, as the same thing will happen the next cycle, making you feel that it has not become better. So do not worry about white discharge. This has nothing to do with the period flow. Some cycles tend to be heavy, and some light. The white discharge or the medicines do not have anything to do with your flow. If it is heavy in all cycles, please meet a gynaecologist, or send me msg, and ill try to help.

Acc to your age your hormones are changing. But as I don't have your complete history I can only suggest to see a near by gyne to get further test done.
