Female secretions

Female secretions are the liquid secreted from the female vagina, also called leucorrhea. Under normal circumstances, it is white or transparent and odorless. When it is abnormal, it will appear in many forms, including yellow, black or green in color, cheese-like or bean dregs-like, and have a fishy smell. These situations are all abnormal and most of them are caused by gynecological inflammation. Therefore, if female secretions are abnormal, it must be taken seriously.

If you suffer from some inflammatory disease, you need to pay attention to all aspects of your life. You should avoid spicy food and eat more light food. You should also pay attention to personal hygiene and ensure cleanliness and dryness, especially during menstruation. You should change sanitary napkins frequently to avoid re-contamination by menstrual blood and make the inflammation worse. The following is an introduction to the relevant content about female secretions. I hope you will have a more comprehensive understanding of yourself.

Leucorrhea

After a girl reaches puberty, as her ovarian function improves, a milky white or transparent liquid will flow out of her vagina. The amount is sometimes more, sometimes less, and there is a regularity to it. This is leucorrhea, which has the function of keeping the vaginal mucosa moist.

Leucorrhea is composed of fluids secreted by many tissues, including mucus secreted by the paraurethral glands, Bartholin's glands, cervical glands and endometrial glands, and exudate from the capillaries and lymphatic vessels in the vaginal wall. The mixed mucus contains desquamated cells of the vaginal epithelium and a small amount of white blood cells, which form leucorrhea.

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; its secretion amount and texture 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.

The amount of leucorrhea secretion is closely related to sexual thoughts and sexual life. During the honeymoon and frequent sexual life, the secretion of leucorrhea will naturally increase.

In addition, there are also some physiological phenomena, such as women of childbearing age, pregnancy, and taking oral contraceptives, which can cause increased vaginal discharge. The cause is also related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.

The leucorrhea secretion of menopausal women is sparse and thin. These are all normal.

If you experience abnormal vaginal discharge, such as an unexplained increase in discharge, or changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be alert and go to a regular hospital for examination immediately.

Leucorrhea, like menstruation, is a normal physiological manifestation of women. Some people regard leucorrhea as something obscene that cannot be seen in public, and some married women regard normal leucorrhea as a disease, feeling anxious and confused. These are unnecessary.

Everyone is familiar with the relevant content about female secretions. It is important to remind you that if the secretions are abnormal, you must be careful not to have sex during the treatment period. This may cause men to be infected with related inflammations and cause unnecessary trouble. Doing more outdoor exercise will help restore your health.
