Will there be leucorrhea before menstruation?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that women experience every month and is also one of the metabolic activities of the reproductive system. Many women experience increased vaginal discharge before menstruation, which is quite normal. Of course, not all people will have leucorrhea before menstruation. It varies from person to person. Below, we will introduce in detail the causes of leucorrhea before menstruation and related knowledge about leucorrhea!

1. Will there be leucorrhea before menstruation?

1. Normal phenomenon

Before a woman’s menstruation comes, she often experiences general fatigue and increased vaginal discharge. This is not a disease, but a normal condition that occurs when the body is affected by estrogen. After women enter puberty, the function of their ovaries will become more and more mature, the cells of the vaginal epithelium will shed and regenerate regularly, and a small amount of fluid will seep out from the vaginal wall. This white mucus mixes with epithelial cells and flows out of the vagina, which is leucorrhea.

2. Increased leucorrhea

Secondly, before a woman’s menstruation comes, her pelvic cavity becomes congested and the blood flow in the vagina and cervix increases, causing more leucorrhea than usual. When menstruation is about to come, the leucorrhea will appear pink and then slowly turn into blood, which is called menstruation. After the menstruation is over, the blood flow in the vagina and uterus will slowly return to its original state, and the leucorrhea will decrease little by little, making the leucorrhea less and less.

2. Under what circumstances is leucorrhea abnormal

In addition to some changes in leucorrhea before menstruation, many women will experience increased leucorrhea when ovulating or when they are too tired. These are all very normal. However, if the leucorrhea changes color, or has an odor, or itches due to external factors, these are all abnormal and the patient must go to the hospital for examination in time.

3. Symptoms of leucorrhea during ovulation

Leucorrhea is also called vaginal discharge. Its formation is closely related to hormones and will change with the changes in hormones during the menstrual cycle. What are the symptoms of leucorrhea during ovulation? Due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the leucorrhea during ovulation is rich and transparent, like egg white, with a high degree of stringiness, and the female vulva feels moist.

Leucorrhea is mainly composed of labia majora, vestibular glands, cervical glands, vaginal mucosal secretions, vaginal exfoliated cells, vulvar secretions, and a small amount of endometrial fluid and fallopian tube fluid. Leucorrhea can not only maintain the normal ecological balance of the vagina, but also keep the vagina moist, which is conducive to the smooth sexual life of women of childbearing age. In order to protect the self-purification of the vagina, do not clean the vagina frequently.
