On which day of ovulation does leucorrhea increase?

Women will have leucorrhea about seven days after their menstrual period, and this is also a sign of ovulation. But on which day of the month will ovulation occur when the leucorrhea increases? Every woman’s menstrual period is different. Some are twenty-eight days, some are thirty days. As long as it is regular, it’s fine. Ovulation may occur the next day when the amount of leucorrhea increases, that is, within the 24 hours when the leucorrhea is the longest, and this is when it is easiest to get pregnant.

On which day of leucorrhea do you ovulate?

Generally speaking, when women reach their ovulation period, their vaginal discharge will increase. We can predict the approximate time of ovulation by observing the changes in the symptoms of leucorrhea. As the cervical mucus secretion reaches a certain amount, it changes in preparation for ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs within 24 hours when the leucorrhea is the longest.

Symptoms of leucorrhea during ovulation

1. Leucorrhea during ovulation

Leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions. It also contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria. Cervical mucus is one of the main components of leucorrhea and is a major obstacle to sperm penetration.

When women reach the ovulation period, the water content in the cervical mucus increases, making it thinner and more resilient. Therefore, women in the ovulation period will have thin strips of leucorrhea flowing out, which is transparent and clear. Some can even be stretched to more than ten centimeters, and the lower body will feel slippery.

At this time, the cervical mucus becomes thinner and contains a lot of water, which facilitates the smooth passage of sperm. This is the time when women are most likely to become pregnant.

2. Leucorrhea after ovulation

After ovulation, the ovaries mainly secrete progesterone, which stimulates the cervix to secrete a large amount of mucus. As a result, the leucorrhea will gradually decrease and the female's lower body will become very dry. If conception is not successful, menstruation will begin about 10 days later.

3. Identify the increased leucorrhea before menstruation

Some women will experience increased vaginal discharge before their period. At this time, the main component of the vaginal discharge is not the sticky cervical mucus, but the exfoliated epithelium of the vagina, uterine secretions and bacteria. Menstruation will occur about 1-2 days after the increase in vaginal discharge.

How many days does leucorrhea usually last?

The specific duration of leucorrhea stringiness varies from person to person. For some women, leucorrhea stringiness will only last for 1 day, for some women it may last for 2-3 days, and for some women it may last for 4 days. But under normal circumstances, during the ovulation period, the leucorrhea will increase, become transparent, slightly sticky, and resemble egg white.

How to care for leucorrhea

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Some women will habitually use sanitary pads when they experience increased vaginal discharge during ovulation. However, it should be noted that the material of sanitary pads is not breathable. Therefore, it is best to use them less and change them frequently during use to avoid poor ventilation. A humid environment can easily breed bacteria. Clean the vulva with warm water every night, wash the underwear by hand in time, and try to keep the vulva dry.

2. Pay attention to the frequency of sexual intercourse

The ovulation period is the time in a month when women are most likely to get pregnant, but it is not advisable to have sex too frequently. If you have sex several times a day, the sperm quality will not be high. It is recommended to have sex every other day during the ovulation period to ensure sufficient physical strength for better results. If you don't plan to get pregnant, take contraceptive measures.

3. Daily care during ovulation

Eat more fruits and avoid irritating foods, such as fried foods, spicy and dry foods that increase fire, greasy foods, and overly sweet foods. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, black sesame seeds, eggs, black beans, fish, shrimp, black-bone chicken and other foods to regulate your body, avoid excessive fatigue and emotional fluctuations, and get a good rest.
