Does The Vaginal Discharge Two Weeks Before Periods Indicate STI?
Question: Hi. Does my discharge look normal? I have been freaking out that i have an STI and i have to wait two more days to see my results from my tests. Im going to start my period in about two weeks.
Brief Answer:
We need more information!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this discharge and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. It is difficult to evaluate a discharge and tell whether it is normal or not by just looking at a picture. Please, provide answers to the follow questions to help me evaluate.
1. For how long has this been going on?
2. Do you have ant itches?
3. What is the color and how many pads do you change in a day in order not to be wet? Has the volume increased?
4. Is it having any odor(smells bad)?
5. Have you had unprotected sex?6. Do you have any other symptoms?
These would help in evaluating your risk and providing answers as to whether this is normal or not. Not all discharges are signs of STI. They are suggestive of an infection and not mandatorily an STI.
Be patient. Whatever the results, we would be able to assist you in treating and preventing future infections. I hope to hear from you and provide more insights and useful recommendations on this.
Until we next talk, I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Cannot be an STI!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Vaginal discharge is normal all the times. The only problem should be the color, quantity and odor. These are normal in your case. It is expected for discharge to increase before periods and more so about 2weeks to periods because of the hormonal changes. This is normal and you should not be concerned.
How would you have STI if you have never had sex? That is not possible. Be relaxed and all would be okay. If I were your physician, I will not be doing any STI tests as there is no ground for doing so.
I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Okay, protection before pleasure!

Hi,
It would be unlikely to have a vagina infection from oral sex. However, always put protection before sex. It is the best thing to do. Also, eat healthy, avoid smoking, no alcohol, consider contraception and exercise regularly to always keep in good health.
I wish you well and keep me posted with your results.
