What causes excessive vaginal discharge during the luteal phase?

The corpus luteum is the most important reproductive substance for women. It plays a key role in the production of progesterone and eggs in women. However, due to differences in physical fitness, modern women have experienced significant debilitating changes in the health of their corpus luteum. For example, increased vaginal discharge during the luteal phase is a problem that requires attention. Let's take a look at what causes excessive vaginal discharge during the luteal phase. I hope everyone can understand it.

First of all, we need to know that the corpus luteum in the female body mainly promotes the secretion of progesterone, estrogen and relaxin. With the arrival of the luteal phase, various hormones in the female body will be secreted, which will cause a series of changes in the body. Affected by the secretion of related hormones, women will experience increased vaginal discharge, which is a very normal physiological phenomenon.

Excessive leucorrhea refers to an increase in vaginal secretions, but when the leucorrhea increases, it should be distinguished whether it is physiological leucorrhea or pathological leucorrhea. If there is just an increase in vaginal discharge but no other discomfort, it is basically regarded as physiological vaginal discharge. If it is normal physiological leucorrhea, there is no need to panic too much. If the vaginal discharge is excessive and has an odor, you should pay attention to it and do not ignore it just because it does not affect your daily life or work. Different symptoms correspond to different causes, so the best way is not to make your own judgment, but to go to a regular hospital for examination.

What are the symptoms of abnormal leucorrhea

1. Yellow watery leucorrhea

It often occurs after continuous vaginal bleeding, with a large amount of purulent and foul-smelling leucorrhea flowing out of the vagina. Advanced cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or submucosal myoma with infection should be considered first. Those with paroxysmal discharge should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.

2. Purulent leucorrhea

It is yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky or foamy, and has a foul odor. It is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation, among which Trichomonas vaginitis is the most common, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching. It can also be seen in chronic cervicitis, senile vaginitis, endometritis, mesometrial effusion or foreign bodies in the vagina.
