Is it normal to have white vaginal discharge?

The private parts are a relatively weak part of the human body and also a part that needs special care. Especially the female private parts, because they are concave towards the body, they are relatively more prone to problems. So is it normal for women to have white discharge in their vagina? Through the following solution, people should know the answer to this question.

To evaluate whether leucorrhea is normal, it is necessary to observe the quantity, color, texture and smell.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. The amount and texture of leucorrhea are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses. Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, the increase in estrogen levels in the body promotes the proliferation of epithelial cells of the cervical glands, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn. In addition, there are some physiological phenomena, such as pregnancy and oral contraceptives, which can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body. If your vaginal discharge increases for no apparent reason, or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert.

As mentioned above, if a woman finds white discharge in her vagina, she does not need to be particularly alarmed. This is probably just a normal phenomenon in the body. Only when the amount of white secretions is too large, or the color or smell is different from before, should people be alert and need to undergo relevant examinations as soon as possible in order to eliminate the disease in its early stages.
