I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms with my menstrual cycle. During the time I usually have my period, I'm not getting my normal blood flow. Instead, there's this white waxy discharge, and it's also really itchy around that area. Along with that, I have some abdominal pain and redness. My menstrual cycle seems abnormal, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could these symptoms be connected, and what might this white waxy discharge indicate?
