Increased vaginal discharge on the sixth day after ovulation

Abnormal leucorrhea is a problem that many women find very troubling, and it is also a relatively common gynecological disease. Generally speaking, if there is inflammation inside a woman's body, the leucorrhea will become more abundant and very sticky. In addition, some women will experience a sudden increase in leucorrhea on the sixth day after ovulation. So, what is the reason for the increase in vaginal discharge on the sixth day after ovulation?

What is the reason for the increase in secretions on the sixth day of ovulation? What we can feel most during ovulation is the increase in leucorrhea. Some people think that this is an abnormal phenomenon, but it is often necessary to be careful if there is no increase in leucorrhea during ovulation. Does secretion usually increase on the sixth day of ovulation? Let's take a look!

Generally speaking, it is normal to have more vaginal discharge during ovulation. Women should wash it with clean water and keep the area dry after washing. Just pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the vulva with warm water every day and keep the vulva clean. Avoid using medication to clean the vagina on your own, as this may damage the pH value of the vagina and reduce immunity, leading to vaginitis.

The main component of leucorrhea is cervical mucus, which is controlled by hormones secreted by the ovaries. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, that is, before ovulation, the amount gradually increases and becomes thinner and more translucent, causing the lower body, which has been relatively dry after menstruation, to gradually become moist. When the ovulation period comes, the secretion of leucorrhea reaches its peak, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and the toughness is the greatest. Thin strips of leucorrhea often flow out, which can sometimes be as long as more than ten centimeters (i.e., thread-like). At this time, the woman's lower body is the wettest. When the above-mentioned strip-like leucorrhea flows out, there will be a greasy feeling. This large amount of cervical mucus secretion during ovulation can last for about 2-3 days, which is when women feel the most moist.

Generally speaking, before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are stimulated to proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the amount of leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads. After ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn.

It is also advisable to choose breathable underwear, and clothes should be loose and breathable. Women should usually wear loose pants or skirts. Underwear should be made of cotton. Silk or synthetic fibers should not be used because they are not breathable and do not absorb sweat, and are most likely to breed mold. Tight-crotch pants such as jeans and training pants should not be worn frequently. Wash your face at night, preferably by showering, and keep it dry after washing.

Ovulation is a very important period for women, and we must be prepared for it. Especially for those who want a baby, they should be prepared during the ovulation period to increase the pregnancy rate. It is normal for secretions to increase on the sixth day of ovulation. We don’t need to worry too much, so as not to be affected by excessive tension.
