Is it normal to have more vaginal discharge during menopause?

Women are prone to menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. The most obvious manifestation of women entering menopause is that their menstruation stops, which is what we often call menopause. When women's menstruation stops, their tempers will become irritable. At this time, women will age faster and faster, and there may also be some increased leucorrhea. So is it normal to have increased leucorrhea during menopause?

Leucorrhea, or vaginal discharge, is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge changes with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in volume, white in color, and paste-like. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white.

In fact, if a woman may still have a small amount of leucorrhea after menopause, if the characteristics of the leucorrhea are normal, it is normal leucorrhea. In this case, menopausal women can rest assured.

However, if you have symptoms such as excessive vaginal discharge with color and odor, you should consider that you may have some gynecological disease. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a physical examination and consult a doctor.

Although women will have fewer worries and troubles after menopause, women's health care is a lifelong thing. Therefore, even after menopause, they should pay attention to some issues.

First of all, you still need to pay attention to personal hygiene. Secondly, your diet should still be light, and you can supplement with more protein-rich foods. Also, keep exercising to strengthen your physical fitness and stay away from diseases. Last but not least, it is most important to keep a good mood at all times.

Through the above introduction, we know that it is normal to have leucorrhea after menopause. As long as there is nothing abnormal in the leucorrhea, you don’t need to worry. Also, women after menopause should learn to take better care of their bodies.
