Why has the vaginal discharge increased recently?

Vaginal discharge is a secretion of the female vagina. The vaginal discharge of healthy women should be a viscous substance without odor and slightly acidic and alkaline. A normal amount of vaginal discharge can moisten the female vagina, excrete waste in the vagina, and inhibit the growth of bacteria. So why has the amount of vaginal discharge increased recently? Let’s discuss the interpretation below.

1. Due to the trauma of childbirth or the change of estrogen, the cervix becomes inflamed and causes cervical erosion, which leads to excessive leucorrhea. A small number of female friends also have cervical erosion for no reason, which is called congenital cervical erosion, which can also cause excessive leucorrhea.

2. Some female friends have used daily necessities that are contaminated by the environment, causing pathogens to enter the reproductive system from the vaginal opening, which in turn causes infection and leads to leucorrhea with an odor.

3. If a foreign object enters the female reproductive organs, for example, there is gauze, sanitary napkins or menstrual suppositories in the vagina, which will cause excessive leucorrhea. Some female friends should not insert an IUD. Once inserted, it is easy to irritate the male reproductive organs and cause excessive leucorrhea.

The reason for excessive vaginal discharge before menstruation is that the cervical opening continues to expand during menstruation, and the metabolism of the columnar squamous epithelial cells in the cervical canal gradually becomes sufficient, which leads to a continuous increase in the amount of mucus. If you are not pregnant and your menstrual cycle is very normal, and there is no inflammation in the body, then the vaginal discharge will be about three or four days, and the menstrual period will come.

In addition, if there is a disorder in the endocrine system, resulting in endocrine imbalance and disruption of the physiological cycle, even if there is a lot of vaginal discharge, it does not necessarily mean that menstruation is coming. There is also a situation where pregnancy can cause a lot of vaginal discharge. If menstruation is delayed for more than a week, you should also consider whether you are already pregnant.
