Gynecologists say that leucorrhea is a mixture of secretions from the vagina, cervix, and endometrial glands as well as shed tissue components, and the amount changes with the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Before menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels will increase, causing more glandular secretions and thus increasing the amount of leucorrhea.

However, it should be noted that increased vaginal discharge usually occurs 14 days before menstruation, that is, during the ovulation period, and only the vaginal discharge increases. If a woman has an increase in vaginal discharge accompanied by other symptoms such as yellowing, odor, and vulvar itching, she may have been infected with a gynecological disease. It is recommended that she go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

3. Milky white foamy leucorrhea accompanied by vulvar itching is mostly caused by vaginal Trichomonas infection;

4. Leucorrhea with blood is common in genital tumors, inflammation and intrauterine contraceptive device placement.
