What are the changes of leucorrhea before and after menstruation?

Maybe many female friends will not notice the changes in their leucorrhea unless it is very obvious. Otherwise, they will not find it if they do not observe carefully in the fast-paced daily life. However, the changes in leucorrhea before menstruation are quite obvious. You will feel that your leucorrhea has become particularly abundant. Don't panic, this is a normal phenomenon. How will leucorrhea change before and after menstruation?

Some young women experience increased vaginal discharge when their menstruation is about to come, which makes them feel very uncomfortable and even suspect that they are sick. After women enter puberty, their ovarian function matures. Under the influence of hormones secreted by the ovaries, vaginal epithelial cells will proliferate and fall off regularly, and the vaginal wall can secrete a small amount of fluid; the mucous glands of the cervix also change periodically under the influence of ovarian endocrine secretions and secrete transparent mucus. These epithelial cells, mucus, and liquid mix together and flow out of the vagina in the form of egg white, which is leucorrhea. The phenomenon of increased leucorrhea before menstruation is because when menstruation is about to come, pelvic congestion increases and the blood flow in the cervix and vagina is greater than usual. Therefore, vaginal secretions will naturally increase. In addition, some young women will experience increased vaginal discharge during the ovulation period between two menstrual cycles or after fatigue. This increase in vaginal discharge related to menstruation is also a normal physiological phenomenon. When the amount of leucorrhea increases, the vulva should be washed with warm water every day to keep the vagina clean and prevent inflammation. If there is still a lot of leucorrhea after menstruation, or it becomes pus-like and has a foul odor, it is abnormal and you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and treatment in time. Abnormal leucorrhea is very important, please do not ignore it, good health is the most important thing.

Changes in leucorrhea before and after menstruation

Between two menstrual periods (i.e. ovulation period), the leucorrhea is abundant, transparent, sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads.

Normal leucorrhea is milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. The amount and texture of secretion are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and concentrations. If the leucorrhea is yellow, it is a manifestation of inflammatory leucorrhea, which can usually be manifested as: the leucorrhea of ​​candidal vaginitis is yellow or white, typically in the shape of tofu dregs or curds, and is accompanied by vulvar itching. Most of the time, it has a thick texture, but sometimes it can also be thin and slightly smelly.

Cervical erosion is characterized by yellow leucorrhea, increased volume, purulent content, and often odorless.

Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.
