Causes of increased vaginal discharge after sex

Many women report that their vaginal discharge increases after sex. Is this a disease? They are very confused and worried. Next, I will explain to you whether increased vaginal discharge is a normal phenomenon or a pathological manifestation. I hope that after this introduction, female friends will pay more attention to their physical health, because they need to protect their own bodies. Let us learn about it below.

There are two main reasons:

First, sexual life causes a major fluctuation in the nervous and endocrine functions of the human body. The nervous system that controls sexual activity is extremely excited, and the estrogen level in the body will temporarily increase. This sudden increase in estrogen levels increases secretion from the glands.

Another is the mechanical stimulation of sexual intercourse, which can directly cause an increase in vaginal discharge. It can be seen from this that any increase in leucorrhea caused by the above reasons is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the amount of vaginal discharge increases after intercourse, there are some situations that need attention. Women may have abnormal leucorrhea due to physiological changes, such as changes in the color, flow, or taste of the secretions. This type of abnormal leucorrhea requires immediate treatment at a regular hospital. There are many cases of increased vaginal discharge related to gynecological diseases, among which vaginitis and cervical erosion are two common diseases that can cause increased vaginal discharge.

It is precisely because sexual intercourse relies on the drive of estrogen in the body that experts from gynecological hospitals point out that every time sexual intercourse occurs, the body will mobilize estrogen. As sexual intercourse progresses and sexual climax occurs, there will be a temporary increase in estrogen in the body. Relying on this nerve reflex, the relevant glands will greatly increase the production of secretions. This is true during the ovulation period and the non-ovulation period.

Of course, due to the temporary increase in estrogen levels, the secretion of cervical mucus, paraurethral gland fluid or Bartholin's gland fluid will also temporarily increase. Therefore, the amount of leucorrhea after sexual intercourse will increase than usual. This is the reason. Generally speaking, in young and middle-aged people, the level of estrogen in the body increases, the metabolism of sex hormones is very active, and the function of the glands is also very active. On the contrary, after old age, the level of sex hormone metabolism in the body decreases, the glandular function also declines, and the secretion fluid decreases. Therefore, even if the elderly have sexual desires, the vaginal opening is not easy to lubricate, which affects the sexual life.

From the above, we can see that an increase in vaginal discharge after intercourse is a normal phenomenon, but we still need to pay attention, because some of them are caused by abnormalities, which requires you to have a good judgment. It is very important to pay attention to the quality of sex life, and we should not seek temporary pleasure. It is normal for vaginal discharge to increase from time to time after sex. I believe you already have the answer.
