Is there a lot of vaginal discharge during menstruation?

Some people say that girls are a magical species who can bleed for seven days every month without dying. Of course, this is a joke, but girls do feel physically uncomfortable during their menstruation, especially women with dysmenorrhea. The most severe dysmenorrhea I have seen is that the patient had to have intravenous drips and take painkillers during the period. Most women will have special sensations before menstruation, including increased vaginal discharge. Increased vaginal discharge is a normal phenomenon, so girls don’t need to worry.

1. Generally, women only have a lot of vaginal discharge before menstruation. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, this is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. The phenomenon of increased leucorrhea before menstruation is because when menstruation is about to come, 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 tract and you should be vigilant. Normal leucorrhea is colorless and transparent like egg white, colorless and odorless.

2. If there are abnormal changes in leucorrhea, you must go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations and treatments in time to rule out genital diseases. Don't be careless.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. Before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear, and look 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. Guidance: The amount of leucorrhea may increase slightly before and after menstruation, during pregnancy, and during ovulation. Not having too much vaginal discharge does not mean that your period is coming soon. However, you may have a little abdominal pain before menstruation. You can consider it in combination with your own menstrual cycle and don't be too nervous. If the abdominal pain lasts for a long time or is accompanied by other discomforts, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check your physical condition.

Suggestions:

Take a bath and change underwear frequently, but avoid taking a tub bath or swimming. Be careful not to catch a cold when bathing. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. You can wash the vulva with clean warm water every night to prevent bacterial infection.
