A member asked:

1 week before my period, i have this white, pasty cervical mucus.. is there anything that i should be worried about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discharge: This is most likely physiologic and nothing to worry about. It is probably due to hormonal fluctuations. If there is burning, itching or a foul odor though it might be an infection and you should see your doctor.
