Have Water Like Vaginal Discharge Week Before Periods. No Pain. Cause?

Hi, I am 43 and I have noticed that my Vagina discharge say a wwek before my period is spilling down like water, not sure of what it is. Also I noticed my vagina mucus is very loose in a way I have to use Vaseline( not lubricant as it does go dry quickly) however I have no pain or itch during intercourse or any other time. What is it ?

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

It would have helped if you would have mentioned the consistency, color and odor of the discharge, as this is how we find the cause and this helps in directing us toward a particular condition.

But as you have not mentioned the details I am going to assume a normal transparent fluid, which is usually the natural lubricant. Although it is very difficult to judge and put forward options for a diagnosis, I shall try my best to guide you towards a particular cause. The few most common causes for the condition you could be suffering from are the following:
-Chemical irritation of the vagina
-Infections
-Sexually transmitted infections
-Menopause induced (as you have not mentioned your age, I have added this)
-Urinary incontinence (we will have to find the source of this discharge/fluid from the vagina or the urethra)

I request you to kindly consult your doctor for the same, as only with a physical examination can we reach a diagnosis and accordingly treat you. Wishing you all the luck and a beautiful life thereafter.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
