Thick, sticky discharge during ovulation

Thick, sticky discharge during ovulation

What should I do if my lower body secretes a thick, gelatinous substance? I think I have vaginitis. Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue and is a common disease in outpatient gynecology. For normal and healthy women, due to the characteristics of human anatomy and cell biology, the vagina has a natural defense against the invasion of pathogens. So why is there a thick and gelatinous substance in the secretion during ovulation?

If the natural defense function of the vagina is destroyed, it is easy for pathogens to invade and cause Trichomonas vaginitis. Because of the lack of estrogen, phantom girls and postmenopausal women have thin vaginal epithelial cells, reduced glycogen content in cells, and vaginal pH of around 7. Therefore, the resistance of the vagina is not high, and they are more susceptible to infection than adolescents and married women. According to traditional Chinese medicine, long-term use of rose water can relieve vaginitis.

In the early stage of ovulation, the uterus and ovaries mainly secrete estrogen, and the lower body secretes a thick gelatinous substance. The secretion volume gradually increases, and under its effect, the amount of cervical mucus gradually increases, and becomes thinner and more crystal clear. The lower body, which has been dry after menstruation, will gradually become damp and cold. When ovulation arrives, the secretion of female hormones reaches its peak, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and the elasticity is also greater. Clear mucus is often discharged in strips, which can sometimes be longer. At this time, the female lower body is the wettest. When the strip-like vaginal secretions are discharged, there is a slippery feeling. It is different from the excessive leucorrhea caused by vaginitis and cervical erosion. The former is clear and translucent, odorless, and more than 95% of it is water; the latter is yellowish pus-like or cheese-like, and makes the private parts itchy and uncomfortable, and often has a peculiar smell. During ovulation, the secretion of cervical mucus lasts for about 2 to 3 days, which is the time when the lower body feels the coldest.

The main clinical characteristics of vaginitis are changes in the characteristics of vaginal secretions and itching and burning pain of the vulva. Pain during sexual intercourse is also common. When the infection invades the urethra, there may be symptoms such as painful urination and inability to hold urine. Common vaginitis includes bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Common vaginitis includes bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, and senile vaginitis. Garder et al. conducted a scientific study on 1181 cases of vaginitis and found that 41% were bacterial infection, 27% were candidal, and 24% were syphilitic. Elderly vaginitis occurs after menopause, oophorectomy or pelvic tumor radiotherapy, and its prevalence is reported to reach 98.5%.
