Whether the increase in vaginal discharge before menstruation is normal depends on the specific situation. Increased vaginal discharge before menstruation in women, accompanied by general fatigue, is a normal occurrence due to the influence of estrogen on the female body. After entering puberty, the ovarian function of girls tends to mature. Under the influence of ovarian endocrine, vaginal epithelial cells are regularly regenerated and shed, and the vaginal wall may secrete a small amount of fluid.
The mucous glands of the cervix also undergo periodic changes under the influence of ovarian endocrine, secreting white mucus. These epithelial cells, mucus, and fluid mix together and flow out of the vagina, known as "vaginal discharge". Normal vaginal discharge is egg white like, transparent, and odorless.
Before menstruation, the pelvic cavity becomes congested, and the blood flow to the cervix and vagina increases, resulting in more vaginal discharge than usual. When approaching menstruation, it may appear slightly pink and gradually turn into blood, which is called menstruation. Whether there is an increase in vaginal discharge before menstruation, in addition to the phenomenon of increased vaginal discharge, there may generally be breast swelling, tightness, tenderness, abdominal pain, and other symptoms.

In addition, some people may experience an increase in vaginal discharge during fatigue and ovulation, which is normal.
