A member asked:

What is the cause of creamy milky white discharge before my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Congestion of pelvis: The white discharge before your period is actually completely normal and natural. The white discharge before your period is mainly from the uterus and cervix, it is not a beginning of an infection. The white discharge caused from congestion of your pelvis, which is why the white discharge is really just mucus.
