Is there still leucorrhea after menopause?

Menstruation occurs during the development and maturation stage of the female reproductive system and plays an important role in women's reproductive ability. Normal menstruation allows women's physical health to be maintained in a long-term manner. Therefore, menstruation is one of the most important physiological phenomena for women. The disappearance of menstruation when women enter middle age or old age indicates a decline in their fertility, accompanied by other manifestations. For example, is there still leucorrhea after menopause?

Menopause is caused by the decline of ovarian function and the cessation of female hormone secretion. The female hormones in the body decrease significantly, resulting in the disappearance of cyclical changes in other parts of the genitals. The secretion of cervical mucus increases when the female estrogen level increases, making the leucorrhea transparent and thin. After menopause, the female hormone decreases or even stops secreting, which significantly reduces the cervical secretion.

When a woman goes into menopause, it is due to ovarian dysfunction, which means that the woman's body will no longer secrete hormones, and the hormones in the body will also decrease significantly, causing periodic changes in the reproductive organs. Usually, when a woman has not gone into menopause, the cervical mucus secretes a lot of leucorrhea due to the increase in estrogen, and it becomes transparent.

When women reach menopause, the secretion of estrogen will become less and less, and even no leucorrhea will be secreted. Therefore, generally speaking, women do not have leucorrhea after menopause. However, some women have not had menstruation for several months, or have sudden menstruation and other phenomena because they have just reached menopause. In this case, some leucorrhea will generally be secreted. If a woman is completely menopausal, or has not taken any hormone replacement drugs after menopause, sometimes she will have a little leucorrhea. Most elderly women do not have leucorrhea. If leucorrhea occurs or is abnormal, go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time.

It is best for women facing menopause to determine what state their bodies should be in. If you still have leucorrhea after menopause, or even if the leucorrhea is abnormal, you must seek medical attention immediately.
