Women questions
What does warm discharge mean?? It feels like a period?? I should be starting my period in a week or two.

Discharge can mean many things. Basically discharge is anything that's coming out.
It is considered healthy or normal to have a clear or white discharge from the vagina. During a person's period, discharge may be brown, red, and/or chunky. This is the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, being shed.
If discharge is abnormal in amount, thickness, color, or smell (or accompanied by burning, itching, etc) then one should likely stop in to a clinic for a check up. Abnormal discharge has a large variety of causes, so seeing a medical professional is the quickest way to get an accurate diagnosis as well as treatment.

its probably nothing to worry about- lots of people experience vaginal discharge- however if this Is new I would recommend going to get it checked by a doctor, it will put your mind at ease if nothing else
If the discharge is warm but clear and a little runny-- like egg whites (sorry for that visual) and it's before your period, your body is lubing up because it wants to get the egg in your uterus fertilized!
When my period is coming my fluids start sticky and brown for one or two days before they turn brigth red and flow smoothly. Except the one after my wedding, it was heavy and I had very bad cramps for all the days I had it instead of the first two.
