Yes, it can be. Light discharge or clear-ish-milky colored discharge can be a sign of your period or your body cleansing itself. It is is red or orange, then it probably is either your period or bleeding. It it is yellow (really yellow, not ivory-tinged) or green, smells bad, or is frothy, then that can be a sign of an infection.

Um I'm actually not sure what you're asking. But if you haven't yet had your first period, and you're wondering if you might get it soon even though you have not experienced discharge yet... I'd tell you that you're unlikely to start your period before having discharge. Even once you start to find discharge it could still be a while. However, I'm sure its not impossible to have your period before discharge. If that's not what you're asking, try rewording your question.

I'm not sure about your age, but I started to get discharge when I was in Year 6 [age 11-12] So really, I think you're meant to get discharge first, before your period. As, I'm sure you're aware, you get them both once you've started. Hope this helped.

Yes, discharge comes before menarche (first period).

Discharge is how the vagina stays clean and healthy, thus protecting the reproductive organs. It's unlikely the reproductive organs will start to mature and function if the vagina cannot help to protect them from disease or infection that could render them dysfunctional.

Is vaginal discharge sign of having period soon?

No, vaginal discharge isn't a sign of having a period soon. Discharge starts as you enter puberty as this is how the vagina keeps itself clean and healthy, menarche (first period) occurs within four years of starting puberty. Discharge changes leading up to your period but until you've had your cycles for a while it is unlikely that you would be able to tell from discharge when your period is due.
