A few days before menstruation, leucorrhea is stringy

Normal women are more concerned about their menstrual and leucorrhea conditions, because women's menstrual and leucorrhea conditions can well reflect the phenomena inside the female reproductive system. Some women find that their leucorrhea has stringy texture a few days before their period, but normal leucorrhea should not have stringy texture. So what is the reason for the stringy leucorrhea a few days before menstruation?

1. What is the reason for stringy leucorrhea a few days before menstruation?

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before ovulation, the secretion increases and can absorb more water, so that during the ovulation period, the leucorrhea increases, the texture is thin, the color is clear, and the appearance is like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads; after ovulation, the estrogen level gradually decreases, the progesterone level increases, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the content of sodium chloride in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, less ductile, and easy to break when drawn.

2. What kind of leucorrhea is problematic?

1. Cheese-like or tofu-like leucorrhea: It is candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

2. Thin, purulent, yellow-green, foamy, and foul-smelling leucorrhea: a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis, accompanied by vulvar itching.

3. Grayish white, thin, fishy-smelling leucorrhea: a characteristic of bacterial vaginosis, accompanied by mild vulvar itching.

4. Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky, and often has a foul odor, caused by bacterial infection. It can be seen in Neisseria gonorrhoeae vaginitis, acute cervicitis and endocervicitis. Vaginal cancer or cervical cancer complicated with infection, pyometra or foreign body residue in the vagina can also lead to purulent leucorrhea.

5. Purulent and bloody leucorrhea: consider acute pelvic infection, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer with infection, pyometra, foreign body in the vagina, etc.

6. Watery leucorrhea: Vaginal discharge that is thin, like water or rice water, and has a fishy odor: It is seen in advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal myoma with infection. Intermittent discharge of clear, yellow-red or red watery leucorrhea should be considered as a possible cause of fallopian tube cancer.

7. Bloody leucorrhea: There is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, and the amount of blood varies. Cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps, cervical columnar epithelium ectopia with infection or uterine submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.
