Why do I have discharge before my period?

I always experienced watery viginal discharge when getting closer to my menstrual period. What is the cause of it?

Answer #1

Hi,

The amount of discharge is often influenced by hormonal changes in the woman’s body. The week before a period, being pregnant or using the oral contraceptive pill are all typically associated with an increase in vaginal discharge.

If it always involves using panty shields, or changing protection or underwear several times a day, then it is probably heavier than normal and a doctor should be consulted.

Answer #2

It’s very normal. As a matter of fact, the days you are ovulating is often related to excess discharge.
