Doctor can evaluate: A doctor can screen for breast disorders, and check to see if there is a medical issue, if a woman has mild menstrual-related symptoms. Many women have some variation of mucus discharge, of periods, or a missed period on occasion. Some women feel normal after a few days, but others have bothersome symptoms and follow-up with a doctor. A pregnancy test can be done if there is a chance of pregnancy.
