Question: In the past 2 months I get very itchy with some whitish discharge before my period starts What might be the issue
Answer: Hi 

Many women experience thick whitish discharge before a period due to the increased presence of progesterone a hormone involved in both the menstrual cycle and pregnancy 

However a thick whitish discharge accompanied by itching will most likely mean you have a yeast infection Watch out for a change in colour and other symptoms like pain on urination burning or other discomfort in and around the vagina rash or sores if consistency of discharge is of cottage cheese or frothy texture strong or foul odor etc

On account of recurrent occurrence I advise you see a doctor for some medications most likely antifungals for treatment and if you will require a maintenance drug for control 

Cheers
