Will the amount of vaginal discharge increase before menstruation?

Every woman will experience some pre-menstrual symptoms before her period.

Is it a normal condition or a physiological condition? In fact, this can accurately tell everyone that increased leucorrhea before menstruation is one of the normal symptoms before menstruation, which is completely normal.

Why does vaginal discharge increase before menstruation?

Under physiological conditions, 2-3 days before and after the menstrual period, during ovulation, pregnancy and sexual intercourse, vaginal secretions usually increase, and leucorrhea will increase before menstruation. This is because the cervical opening gradually expands during the menstrual period, the columnar squamous epithelial cells in the cervical canal have more active metabolism, and the amount of mucus increases and is discharged together with female secretions. Before and after the menstrual period, due to the influence of pelvic hematoma and estrogen, vaginal exudate and cervical secretion increase. These factors can cause more vaginal discharge.

Generally, the symptoms of vaginal discharge before menstruation are that there will be more leucorrhea in the middle and late stages of menstruation, which is thinner and transparent; the symptoms of vaginal discharge before ovulation and menstruation are that the vaginal discharge becomes thicker, turbid and less in quantity. There is a certain increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy and before menstruation, and this situation will occur regularly with the menstrual period.

In addition to the increase in leucorrhea before menstruation, women will also have increased estrogen secretion during pregnancy, causing the cervix to continuously produce some sticky secretions. While waiting for the baby to grow out, the compressed pelvis and vagina will also cause a continuous increase in vaginal mucosal secretions. At this time, the vaginal secretions will be in a state of long-term high volume and thickness. If there is no infection, it is normal and does not require treatment.
