What causes sticky and stringy menstruation?

Menstruation is very important for women. Women's menstruation is affected by many factors, such as environment, mood, medicine, staying up late or fatigue. If the menstruation appears sticky and stringy, it is mostly caused by inflammation or luteal insufficiency. Women must pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and change underwear frequently. You can observe first. If you are really worried, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

This situation is menstrual leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical secretions and some endometrial secretions, and has no odor. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth.

During each menstrual cycle, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea changes as the secretion of estrogen varies. Generally, the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak between two menstrual periods (equivalent to the ovulation period), so the leucorrhea at this time is abundant, transparent, like egg white, and the vulva feels moist. After the ovulation of the follicle, progesterone increases, and the leucorrhea is less in volume and thicker. In the few days before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal exudate increases, leucorrhea also increases slightly, and the leucorrhea becomes turbid.

If you have excessive vaginal discharge during your menstrual period, you don't need to worry as long as there is no odor or any uncomfortable symptoms such as itching. If the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly compared to previous menstruation and is accompanied by other discomforts, it is recommended that you go to the hospital's gynecology department for a leucorrhea test. If you are sick, you can get timely treatment.

In fact, thick menstruation is a normal phenomenon, which means that leucorrhea seeps out along with menstruation. Therefore, women should not worry too much during menstruation, just keep warm and maintain a normal schedule.

1. Excessive dieting to lose weight. For various reasons, many women have very high demands on their body shape. Women's menstruation is closely related to their weight and body fat content. In particular, women who have menstrual problems should stop losing weight, strengthen their nutrition, and restore their health.

2. Irregular work and rest schedule leads to endocrine disorders. With a fast-paced life and high-intensity work, many women would probably go crazy if they encounter those uncomfortable days every month. If they do not pay attention to maintaining a good work and rest routine and relaxing at this time, it is likely to cause scanty menstruation.

3. Often sulking and feeling depressed. Female friends should never hold back when they feel wronged. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, holding back can easily cause liver depression and qi stagnation, thereby reducing menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, tension and psychological trauma can also cause oligomenorrhea.

4. Artificial abortion. After an artificial abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after artificial abortion, which usually return to normal after 2-3 months.

5. Ovarian function decline. The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstruation. In the late menstrual period, the menstrual volume is small. Most modern medicine believes that this is related to poor follicular development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening ovarian function are the main links in treating oligomenorrhea.

1. Low menstrual volume causes a lot of harm to women's health, mainly endometrial displacement, cervicitis, menstrual arthritis, menstrual rash, menstrual toothache, menstrual asthma, etc.

2. Low menstrual volume can also cause acne in women, affecting the beauty of their faces. Moreover, these spots cannot be solved simply with cosmetics. If not diagnosed and treated early, it will not only affect beauty but also physical health.

3. Small menstrual volume can cause headaches in women, and in severe cases it can even cause infertility in women, so female friends must pay attention to it and not be careless.

4. If the scanty menstrual flow is caused by gynecological diseases, it will also affect women’s fertility.
