Will there be leucorrhea before menstruation?

Leucorrhea is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. It is generally believed that if the leucorrhea is colorless and odorless, it is normal. It is normal for women to have an increased amount of vaginal discharge before their period. In fact, the amount of vaginal discharge can also be used to determine whether a woman has gynecological diseases, such as vaginal infection. So what changes will occur in women’s leucorrhea before menstruation?

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.

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.
