What does leucorrhea look like before your period?

Discharge is the secretion of the vagina and cervix of female friends. It has the effect of lubricating the vagina of female friends, and it also plays an important role in the development of sexual life. It is also an important indicator for distinguishing some gynecological diseases. Generally speaking, the secretion of female friends is very small, but there are cases where the secretion increases, such as during ovulation. So, some female friends will ask, will there be leucorrhea before the menstrual period comes?

Generally, 24-48 hours before menstruation, the secretion is slightly more (only more than the dry period after ovulation), between transparent mucus and milky white, until menstrual blood comes.

The increase in leucorrhea before menstruation is because the cervical opening gradually expands during the menstrual period, the metabolism of the columnar squamous epithelial cells in the cervical canal is more active, the amount of mucus increases, and it is discharged together with female secretions.

The discharge increases three or four days before menstruation, with no odor or discomfort, and is like this every month. Since it has become a regularity, it is normal. It's just individual difference.

Leucorrhea is mostly during ovulation. It is normal if it is white and does not have any other colors.

If it itches, you must pay attention to cleaning. Wash the vulva with warm water every day. Do not use lotion, which will cause an imbalance of strong acid and strong alkali, making it easier to breed bacteria.

Also, change your underwear frequently, every day. Wear cotton underwear instead of polyester underwear, as cotton is more breathable.

Use sanitary pads less often, as they are not breathable and are very likely to breed bacteria.

Virgos may also be infected with vaginitis, but it is more common among married women, so they must pay attention to maintenance.

It is normal to have delayed menstruation. Many external factors may cause irregular menstruation. For example, climate, mood and so on.

Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a little fishy smell or no odor; its amount and quality are affected by the level of estrogen and estrogen in the body. The vagina of ordinary people has an acidic environment and is generally not easy to be infected. However, because the vagina and the external environment are open to the outside world, it is easy to be infected when the body's resistance is low or when the sex life is unclean and unhygienic. Therefore, if female friends find that they have an unexplained increase in normal secretions, or are accompanied by changes in color, texture, and smell, they should be vigilant and go to the hospital for a detailed gynecological examination and secretion to confirm the diagnosis, and then follow the doctor's advice to treat the symptoms and the cause with medication.

Female friends will have leucorrhea before their period comes, and the amount will be larger than before. The amount, color, and smell of the secretions are the basis for distinguishing some gynecological diseases. If there is any abnormal leucorrhea, you need to see a doctor immediately. In daily life, we should also maintain the hygiene of the vagina to prevent vaginal infection.
