A member asked:

Im getting a white discharge does that mean im getting my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: White discharge may be normal or it may be a sign of an infection. See your healthcare provider if it is a new symptom, if it has an odor or if it causes burning, itching or inflammation.
