Increased white discharge does not necessarily mean that menstruation is imminent, because increased discharge can also be a sign of vaginal infection. For example, in mycosis vaginalis, the leucorrhea is thick and tofu-like, accompanied by itching of the vulva. Therefore, if a woman has increased discharge accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, she may be infected with vaginal inflammation and needs to undergo a routine examination of the leucorrhea. Women may also experience increased white discharge before their menstrual period, and if it is accompanied by breast pain or pain in the abdomen, it may also be a sign of the upcoming menstrual period.
