Leucorrhea is a common secretion among female friends. Under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea is small, white, sticky, and has no odor. It can keep the vagina moist for a long time and has the effect of helping vaginal health. In addition, the amount and color of leucorrhea will change when the female body is in different stages. One of the more common phenomena among women is that the leucorrhea is milky white and has no odor. Is this normal? Leucorrhea is a secretion in the vagina. It has nothing to do with detoxification and does not involve toxins or metabolic waste. It is a liquid mixed with mucus and exudate secreted from the secretory part of the female reproductive organs. The amount of leucorrhea mainly depends on the secretion and exudation function of the cervix, endometrium and vaginal mucosa. The main components of leucorrhea include mucus secreted by glands in the cervical opening and cervical canal, mucus exuded from the endometrium and vaginal mucosa, epidermal cells shed from the cervix and vagina, a small amount of white blood cells and vaginal inherent flora and their metabolites. Four functions of leucorrhea 1. Vaginal lubricant: The vagina is usually closed, with the front and back walls close together. The moist environment created by leucorrhea can reduce the friction between the front and back walls of the vagina and protect the vaginal walls from damage. Some women often flush their vagina, resulting in less vaginal discharge, which can damage the vaginal mucosa. At the same time, in this moist environment, the vaginal mucosa will be more elastic, which can improve the quality of sexual intercourse; 2. Natural protective barrier: The vaginal flora formed by leucorrhea is balanced and can resist the invasion of foreign pathogens; 3. Assisted conception; 4. As a health indicator: Leucorrhea is usually an important indication for doctors to diagnose reproductive tract diseases, which is why women with abnormal leucorrhea often have routine checks on their leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is not just one state Generally speaking, the information that many women see says that when leucorrhea is healthy, there is only one state - small amount of leucorrhea, white, sticky, and no odor. However, this has caused misunderstandings among many women. They think that as long as they are not in the conditions mentioned above, there is something wrong with them. In fact, there is not only one condition of leucorrhea. The characteristics of leucorrhea are somewhat correlated with estrogen, which is why teenage girls have little or no leucorrhea. As the ovaries develop, estrogen levels rise and leucorrhea appears. The shape of normal leucorrhea changes with the following factors: 1. There will be different leucorrhea at different stages of the menstrual cycle. 2. The characteristics of leucorrhea will be affected by factors such as drinking water and diet, environment, work, personal hygiene and living habits. The minor changes listed below are also within the normal range: if you notice that you are drinking less water, your leucorrhea will turn yellow; sometimes eating chili peppers, seafood, etc. for several days in a row will cause changes in the characteristics of your leucorrhea, but it will return to normal after a few days. The correct approach at this time is: wipe the vulva with clean water every night and keep it dry and clean. 3. The characteristics of leucorrhea vary at different age stages. For example, in postmenopausal women, due to the decline of ovarian function, decreased hormone levels, and atrophy and degeneration of corresponding organs, the secretion of leucorrhea will decrease or even disappear. Through the editor's simple introduction to whether it is normal for leucorrhea to be milky white and have no odor, I believe everyone now understands it. It can be seen that the amount of leucorrhea will also change due to changes in the body cycle. If the amount of leucorrhea is large for a long time, and the color is abnormal and has an odor, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. In addition, you need to pay attention to personal hygiene and eat a light diet, which are very helpful to women's health. |
