Does leucorrhea occur every day?

We all know that there is a very slippery liquid in the female vagina. Under normal circumstances, it is a sticky white liquid, which is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. Many people are curious about leucorrhea. Does leucorrhea occur every day?

For women, leucorrhea starts to appear between the ages of twelve and sixteen, but it does not appear every day. Women have a physiological cycle, which will change with the changes in the ovarian cycle, so the leucorrhea will also change. At the same time, the leucorrhea is not secreted much at the end of menstruation. When the menstruation is about to come, the leucorrhea will increase significantly and the viscosity will also increase. It is best for the leucorrhea to be transparent.

The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen, so pre-pubertal girls generally do not have leucorrhea. After puberty, the ovaries begin to develop and secrete estrogen to promote the development of the reproductive organs, and leucorrhea begins to appear at this time. 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). Excessive estrogen stimulates the cervical glands to secrete more mucus, so the leucorrhea at this time is abundant, transparent, sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads, and the vulva feels moist. After the ovulation of the follicle, progesterone increases and inhibits the secretion of cervical mucus. At this time, the leucorrhea is less in amount and thicker. In the few days before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal exudate increases, and leucorrhea also increases slightly. Because it contains more exfoliated cells, the leucorrhea is turbid. In addition, the amount of vaginal discharge also increases after pregnancy, during sexual excitement, and after sexual intercourse.

After menopause, women's vagina becomes dry and without leucorrhea due to the decline of ovarian function and lack of estrogen in the body.

Through the above analysis, we now know that women's leucorrhea is related to women's discovery, that is, leucorrhea will only appear when the so-called secondary sexual characteristics begin to appear. When menopause comes, leucorrhea will stop being secreted. It is not present every day. Leucorrhea is a barometer of the health of the female reproductive system, and whether it is abnormal can be determined by the leucorrhea.
