When To Worry About Pre-Period Discharge?

Discharge before period is usually a normal part of the menstrual cycle, often clear, white, or slightly creamy due to hormonal shifts. It helps cleanse and lubricate the vagina. However, you should worry and consider contacting a healthcare provider if the discharge changes in color, smell, or texture for example, yellow-green or gray discharge with a strong or fishy odor, thick cottage-cheese-like discharge with itching or burning, or bloody discharge not related to your period. These changes can signal infections like bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, STIs, or other health issues that require evaluation. For further details, visit the USA Fibroid Centers online.
