Usually, excessive vaginal discharge is abnormal. It is more commonly caused by vaginitis, and cervicitis and other problems cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to get a check-up to rule out symptoms caused by the disease. Why is there excessive vaginal discharge the day after having sex? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Why do I have excessive vaginal discharge the day after having sex?

Leucorrhea is often considered to be caused by infection, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital gynecology department for a routine examination of leucorrhea in time to find out whether the pathogen of infection is fungus, trichomonas, bacteria, virus, etc. According to the examination results, sensitive drugs are selected for standardized and systematic treatment.

2. Overview of leucorrhea

Leucorrhea is a female vaginal discharge, which is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical canal and endometrial gland secretions. Its formation is related to the action of estrogen. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea changes with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the leucorrhea is less in amount, white in color and in a paste form. 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. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes turbid, thick and sticky but with less amount. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.

3. Classification of leucorrhea

1. Physiological leucorrhea

Normal leucorrhea is white, paste-like or egg white-like, sticky, has no fishy smell, and is in small amount. It is called physiological leucorrhea. Due to the action of the pelvic floor muscles, the female vaginal opening is closed and the front and back walls are tightly attached. The moisture in the leucorrhea keeps the female vagina moist. This moist environment can reduce the friction between the front and back walls of the vagina and protect the vaginal walls from damage. At the same time, this moist state makes women's vagina lubricated and elastic, which is beneficial to improving the quality of sexual life.

2. Pathological leucorrhea

When reproductive tract inflammation such as vaginitis and acute cervicitis or cancer occurs, the amount of leucorrhea increases significantly and the properties change. This is called pathological leucorrhea. Pathological leucorrhea should be checked and treated in time.
