The reduction of vaginal discharge means that your period is coming soon.

A decrease in vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean that your period is coming. Under normal circumstances, vaginal discharge is slightly more before menstruation, after menstruation, and during ovulation. It is not accurate to judge whether menstruation is coming based on vaginal discharge. First of all, you should go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound. By observing the thickness of the endometrium, it is accurate to judge whether your period is coming.

Does less vaginal discharge mean that I am having my period?

1. Between two menstrual periods, the secretion of female hormones reaches its peak, and the amount of vaginal discharge is large at this time.

2. After ovulation, the increase in estrogen inhibits the secretion of cervical mucus. At this time, vaginal secretions are less in quantity and thicker.

3. In the few days before and after the first menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal fluid leakage increases and vaginal secretions are also slightly more.

4. Vaginal secretions also increase during pregnancy, during sexual impulses and after sexual intercourse.

5. Before the first menstruation after marriage and childbirth, vaginal secretions increase significantly.

6. Less vaginal discharge before menstruation indicates that the body's estrogen level is high.

What does high progesterone indicate?

1. The progesterone level of women who are not pregnant is high

Women who are not pregnant can observe whether the progesterone level changes with the menstrual cycle and whether the progesterone level is high only during the menstrual period. If so, it is normal. If not, they need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, because some diseases can also cause high progesterone levels, such as lipid-rich ovarian tumors and corpus luteum cysts, as well as hydatidiform mole and choriosquamous cell carcinoma, etc. In addition, endocrine imbalance in women can also cause increased progesterone levels in women's bodies.

2. High progesterone in pregnant women

If a pregnant woman has high progesterone levels, she should consider the possibility of incomplete development of the test tube embryo and go to the hospital for a follow-up visit as soon as possible to confirm her condition. Because if the progesterone level is too high, it will cause deformities in key parts of the fetus such as the spine, anus, and limbs, and may also cause serious harm to a woman turning into a man.

In addition, excessive progesterone metabolism can cause poor decidual reaction during pregnancy, affect the implantation and growth and development of the fertilized egg and embryo, and cause miscarriage. There are two sources of progesterone during pregnancy: one is produced by the corpus luteum of the ovary, and the other is secretion by embryonic trophoblasts. Generally, after 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, the progesterone level produced by the corpus luteum of the ovary gradually decreases, and is later replaced by the progesterone level produced by the embryo. If the connection between the two is unbalanced, miscarriage is likely to occur.

A decrease in vaginal secretions does not necessarily mean that menstruation is coming. The details vary from person to person. Vaginal secretions will also decrease after ovulation. If the amount of vaginal discharge decreases significantly before menstruation, it may be caused by high estrogen levels in the human body. It is impossible to judge whether menstruation is coming based solely on the amount of vaginal secretions. Sometimes endocrine disorders in the human body can also cause a decrease in vaginal discharge.
