Why is my period late?

It's quite common to undergo a period discharge in white color after your period. It may be your body's self-cleaning method. Yet, if the discharge has a potent stench, is thick and lumpy, or triggers itching or burning, it might be a symptom of a yeast infection. These infections are generally treated with over-the-counter medications such as antifungal creams or suppositories. The use of water and cotton underwear that can breathe easily as well as drinking is the key to your body healing faster.

Your period date­s provide insight into ovulation timing. Typically, ovulation occurs approximately 14 days prior to menstruation. If your last pe­riod commenced on March 2nd, your probable ovulation window could span March 16th to 18th. Some­ women experie­nce mild cramping or vaginal discharge changes during ovulation. Howe­ver, for precise ovulation confirmation, ovulation pre­dictor kits offer a reliable solution.

While normal white discharge is common in many women, but if it is heavy and with odour then there may be an underlying infection like yeast or bacterial vaginosis, which is a form of vaginal infection. It is essential that you see a gynecologist or an expert in sexually transmitted infections so that you can get the right diagnosis and treatment.
