Is it normal to have excessive vaginal discharge during menstruation?

Women start menstruating around the age of fourteen. Some also experience dysmenorrhea, headaches, etc., which become even more uncomfortable in the summer. Many women also experience excessive vaginal discharge during menstruation. Is this normal? Is increased vaginal discharge during menstruation a warning signal from the body? What should female friends pay attention to during menstruation?

It is normal to have vaginal discharge during menstruation. Menstruation is composed of blood, endometrium, vaginal mucosal shedding, leucorrhea, etc. Although all women have normal leucorrhea, many women, especially young girls, are not familiar with it, and some women even hate it. Leucorrhea is useful for women. It keeps the vagina moist and prevents dryness. After puberty, a large number of Lactobacillus vaginosa will grow in the vagina, which can kill foreign bacteria. However, vaginal lactobacilli must grow in a moist environment, and the leucorrhea secreted by the cervix and vagina provides just such an environment, which can effectively protect the reproductive tract from bacterial invasion. It is an indispensable part of the female reproductive tract. Normally, cervical fluid is quite viscous and blocks the cervical opening. Even if the bacteria can pass through the vagina, they will die here. Leucorrhea guards the gate of the uterus.

Leucorrhea is not the only sign of ovulation. The amount of vaginal discharge will increase before and after menstruation, during ovulation and pregnancy. It is normal for you to have vaginal discharge during your menstrual period. During menstruation, you should be careful to avoid colds and not catch a chill. It is best not to eat cold food or drink cold water. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited to prevent infection. Pay attention to proper rest and avoid strenuous exercise to avoid dysmenorrhea and excessive menstrual bleeding, which may affect your health.

Generally speaking, leucorrhea during menstruation is a normal phenomenon, because the color of leucorrhea cannot be determined during menstruation. If there is no abnormal phenomenon in the body, it is not a physical problem. Even if the body has abdominal pain, lower abdominal distension, back pain, itching, etc., it cannot be completely judged as abnormal leucorrhea. It may also be due to discomfort of sanitary napkins, menstrual reactions, etc. If problems still occur after the menstrual period and there is an odor, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. So as not to delay the disease.
