Is white discharge a sign of period coming?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Vaginal discharge or leukorrhea occurs through the menstrual cycle and is usually white before & after the period. Discharge may start out as thin liquid before the time of ovulation. During ovulation, the discharge thickens and becomes mucus like. After ovulation, i.e., in second half of the cycle, discharge increases usually.

1. I've been diagnosed with a 5.6mm x 4.2mm dermoid cyst on my right ovary what actually causes these cysts to form in the body? I've heard they can contain weird things like teeth or hair how does that even happen? 2. Is surgery the only way to treat a dermoid cyst, or can it be managed with alternatives like yoga, Ayurveda, or homeopathy? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible. 3.
