Possible Period Start? Understanding Headache & Unusual Discharge

Headache and abnormal discharge may signal period onset but can also indicate:

• Sinusitis (headache, nasal discharge, facial pressure, fever)
• Allergic rhinitis (headache, nasal discharge, itching, sneezing)
• Hormonal imbalances (cycle-related headache/discharge changes)
• STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea causing headache, abnormal discharge)

See a doctor for diagnosis (blood/urine tests, vaginal culture). Meanwhile: OTC pain relievers, humidifier, hydration, regular exercise. No embarrassment—discuss concerns with a doctor or trusted adult.
