What is normal for vaginal discharge?

Generally speaking, adult women will secrete a certain amount of leucorrhea, which is usually not large in amount, has no foul odor, is thick and transparent. Generally, the amount of vaginal discharge will increase a few days before ovulation. However, if the color of the leucorrhea changes or a strong foul odor develops, it is possible that there is some disease in the female body. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to rule out certain gynecological diseases.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of leucorrhea is relatively small, but it will be more during ovulation. This is because of the influence of estrogen. If the amount of leucorrhea is too little or no, it may be caused by ovarian dysfunction. If the amount of leucorrhea is usually more, it may be caused by vaginal inflammation or cervical disease, and must be checked and treated.

The color of leucorrhea is white or transparent. If the color of leucorrhea changes to yellow, gray, yellow-green, or brown, etc., it means that the leucorrhea is in an abnormal state. Diseases such as vaginitis, cervical polyps, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. can cause leucorrhea problems. Be sure to find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine.

The texture and smell of leucorrhea are very important. Leucorrhea is relatively thin and has a certain degree of viscosity. If the leucorrhea is in the form of tofu dregs, pus, etc., and has a fishy smell, it must be treated in time. If necessary, a check-up must be done and treatment must be taken with medication to avoid worsening of the situation.
