Why is the leucorrhea as sticky as snot?

Normal leucorrhea should be transparent. Although a little sticky, the amount is not too much. Leucorrhea will be secreted only for 3-5 days each month. After these days, the leucorrhea returns to normal and there will be no more leucorrhea secretion in the vagina. When women find that their leucorrhea is as sticky as snot, and the amount is large and accompanied by an odor, they should consider that the abnormal leucorrhea is caused by problems with the cervix, adnexa, ovaries, or pelvic cavity.

Causes/Thick Leucorrhea

1. Moderate to severe cervical erosion. The thick leucorrhea is caused by infection caused by the invasion of pathogens. Unclean sexual life, multiple abortions, excessive cleaning, etc. can all lead to cervical erosion.
