A member asked:
Is it normal to have creamy white discharge a week before my period on birth control?

Infection? STD?: If the discharge is new, it's probably not normal and needs medical evaluation. There are many possible causes, but "creamy white" suggests an infection, including STDs if you are sexually active. Get it checked out soon.

Varies: on amount and other symptoms. Some discharge just happens. soaking panties would be abnormal. irritation, pain redness would imply yeast infection.
