Leucorrhea is just like women's menstruation. It is a symptom that visits the female body regularly every month. However, menstruation occurs when the endometrium is shed, while leucorrhea occurs during the female ovulation period. Normal leucorrhea is a transparent, viscous substance with no odor or color. Some women find that their leucorrhea is like clear nasal mucus. Is this normal? 1. What is the reason for leucorrhea like clear nasal discharge? It may be that you are in the ovulation period and the leucorrhea is loose. Within 2 to 3 days before ovulation of each menstrual cycle, women of childbearing age experience a gradual increase in estrogen levels in the body, which reaches a peak and increases the secretion of mucus by the glands in the cervical canal. At this time, thin, transparent, and sticky leucorrhea may appear. It may also be a sign of vaginal inflammation. 2. What is normal leucorrhea like?
1. Postpartum leucorrhea In the first few days after delivery, there is a lot of blood discharged, which is called bloody lochia; followed by serous lochia; 2 to 3 weeks after delivery, the discharge begins as a mixture of degenerated decidual tissue, cervical mucus, vaginal epithelial cells and bacteria, which is white in color and called white lochia, also known as puerperal leucorrhea, which can last until 4 to 6 weeks after delivery or even later. 2. Leucorrhea during puberty With the arrival of puberty, the ovarian follicles begin to develop. Under the influence of estrogen secreted by the follicles, girls often begin to have a small amount of mucous leucorrhea 1 to 2 years before menarche, which can last until the ovulatory menstrual cycle is established 1 to 2 years after menarche. 3. Leucorrhea during childbearing age
Within 2 to 3 days before ovulation of each menstrual cycle, women of childbearing age experience a gradual rise in estrogen levels, which in turn causes increased mucus secretion from the cervical glands. At this time, thin, transparent, and sticky leucorrhea may appear. 2 to 3 days before menstruation, there is often more thick leucorrhea due to pelvic congestion. 4. Leucorrhea caused by exogenous estrogen The use of ethinyl estradiol or estrogen preparations to treat gynecological diseases such as amenorrhea or dysfunctional uterine bleeding can increase cervical and vaginal secretions and cause leucorrhea. 5. Leucorrhea during pregnancy During pregnancy, especially from the 3rd to 4th month of pregnancy, due to the significant increase in estrogen and progesterone levels, the secretions of the vaginal wall and the mucus secreted by the cervical glands increase, and there is often more thick and sticky leucorrhea discharged. |
