Thirteen Questions About Female Private Discharge

Women usually feel that their underwear is wet, which is the result of secretions being discharged from the body. A woman's gynecological condition can be reflected in the smell, color, shape, etc. of her secretions. Why does secretion come out from the vagina? Here we answer your thirteen major questions about women's private secretions. It can help everyone further understand the female physiology, which is beneficial for women or men to enhance their physiological knowledge!

Question 1: Where did it come from?

Some of it is secreted by the cervical glands, some comes from the vaginal wall, and a small part is secreted by the endometrial glands and the large glands on both sides of the vaginal opening.

Question 2: Wow! What on earth are these things?

There are some epithelial cells that have fallen off the vaginal mucosa, secretions from the sebaceous glands of the labia minora, a large number of vaginal bacilli (scientific name: Gram-positive lactobacilli), and a small number of white blood cells... there are probably more than twenty kinds of microorganisms.

Question 3: Some people say it is sweet! Is it true?

Let me correct you, not everything with "sugar" in it is sweet. The correct statement is that epithelial cells contain "glycogen", which is converted into lactic acid after being acted upon by vaginal lactobacilli, making the vaginal fluid acidic and maintaining the pH value between 3.8 and 4.5.

Question 4: I have to use sanitary pads every day, otherwise the area of ​​my underwear is always wet. Is it the same for other women?

Some women (especially those with high estrogen levels) secrete a lot of mucus from their cervix. As long as the secretions are thin but elastic, not yellow-green or grayish-white in color, and without any obvious unpleasant odor, they are generally physiological and may indicate a weak constitution. You can try seeing a Chinese medicine doctor and using Chinese medicine to strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness, and promote diuresis to regulate your constitution.

Question 5: I don’t like the look of this thing, nor do I like its smell. Can it be eliminated?

No, because every woman needs it. The acidic environment in the vaginal cavity can prevent foreign pathogens from surviving and multiplying. This is the “vaginal self-cleaning function” that you may have heard so many times that your ears are callused but you may not truly understand it.

Question 6: But what if he doesn’t like it?

Let him read this article carefully. Why are men so stupid? This is the most natural and normal physiological reaction, just like men also have all kinds of strange physiological phenomena. Who knows how many bacteria are hidden in his "thing"! It's just that there are no obvious symptoms. Don't think that you are healthy if you don't feel any pain or itching.

Question 7: I heard it is related to estrogen, is that true?

yes. If the amount of estrogen in the body increases, secretions will also increase. These increased vaginal discharges are what most women hate to hear about: “leucorrhea.”

Question 8: I find that the discharge seems to be particularly heavy during the days in the middle of my menstrual cycle. Is it because I am about to ovulate?

That's right. During the ovulation period, the cervical endometrial glandular cells secrete vigorously. The secretions are very similar to thin, transparent egg white. They can even be stretched for several centimeters without breaking, and are very elastic. This situation will no longer be seen after ovulation. About 2 days before your period, your pelvic cavity starts to become congested and vaginal secretions increase again, sometimes with a little blood in them, as if to remind you that it's time to prepare sanitary napkins.

Question 9: In addition to menstruation, what other factors can affect it?

There are so many reasons that you may not even imagine, such as birth control pills, antibiotics, allergies, illness, pregnancy, childbirth, menstrual products, lack of sleep, unbalanced nutrition, mood swings and even stress!

Doubt 10: Pregnancy itself is tiring enough, and the secretions "there" also add to the chaos, which is so annoying.

As pregnancy progresses, estrogen levels in the body gradually increase, thereby promoting increased secretion of the cervical and endometrial glands, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

Question 11: I pay great attention to cleanliness, but my underwear still has stains, which affects my confidence!

Stop torturing yourself! First, every woman is like this. Second, if you don’t have it, first you will get sick. Second, when you want to have sex, you will find that you are unable to do so. What did you say? Yes! That’s what I meant…
