Will there be leucorrhea before menstruation?

Menstruation is a common physiological phenomenon among women. Normal women of childbearing age will have menstruation once a month. Leucorrhea is also a common problem among women. So, will women have leucorrhea a few days before their period? In fact, women will experience increased leucorrhea a few days before menstruation. Of course, if the leucorrhea before menstruation is abnormal, women also need to go for examination and treatment in time.

1. Do you have leucorrhea a few days before your period?

1. Each menstrual cycle is divided into three stages: the follicular phase, the ovulation phase, and the luteal phase. Generally, during the follicular phase, the leucorrhea is less, white or yellow and sticky. When approaching the ovulation phase, the leucorrhea is colorless, transparent, and egg white-like, and can be drawn. After ovulation, the luteal phase begins, and the leucorrhea gradually becomes less, white or yellow and sticky.

2. Not only does there appear to be leucorrhea before menstruation, but the amount of leucorrhea also increases. This is because when menstruation is about to come, the pelvic congestion increases and the blood flow in the cervix and vagina is greater than usual. Therefore, vaginal secretions will naturally increase. However, if the amount of vaginal discharge increases before menstruation and is accompanied by abnormal changes in the properties, odor, color, etc. of the discharge, it is generally a sign of a disease in the reproductive system and you should be vigilant.

2. Why does the amount of vaginal discharge increase before menstruation?

Under physiological conditions, the secretion of leucorrhea often increases 2-3 days before and after menstruation, during ovulation, pregnancy and sexual intercourse. The amount of leucorrhea will increase before menstruation. As the cervical opening gradually expands during menstruation, the secretory function of the columnar epithelial cells in the cervical canal is relatively strong, and the amount of mucus increases and flows out together with the vaginal secretions. Before and after menstruation, vaginal exudate and cervical secretions increase due to pelvic congestion and the influence of estrogen. These factors can increase leucorrhea.

3. Precautions during menstruation

During menstruation, you should learn to relax your body and mind and regulate your emotions. Prolonged excessive tension will lead to dysfunction of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and central nervous system, which can easily lead to irregular menstruation. At the same time, you should also avoid excessive fatigue to prevent excessive pelvic congestion, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, etc.

If the color of the leucorrhea turns yellow, becomes purulent, has a foul odor, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, this is abnormal and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Under the guidance of a doctor, you should actively treat the disease. Do not buy medicine and wash it yourself and think that everything will be fine.
