A member asked:

I have really unusual white thick creamy discharge, that i have never ever had before and a very odd smell and im 3 days away from getting my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider an infectio: Yeast infections are one of the most common causes of irregular discharge and a foul aroma (i am assuming vaginal discharge since you comment on menstrual period). This should be treated and/or cultured. Bacterial overgrowth may cause a similar problem. Your ob/gyn should be able to resolve these differences.
