Is there more or less vaginal discharge before menstruation?

Before menstruation, female friends will feel some changes in their bodies. They may feel that their leucorrhea has become more than before, or even that their underwear will be soiled if they do not use sanitary pads. This is a very normal phenomenon. This phenomenon basically occurs about 24 hours before menstruation, and the leucorrhea will become a thicker liquid. This phenomenon will gradually disappear until the menstruation comes, so there is no need to worry too much.

The first stage: Menstrual holidays: 4-5 days of redness

The second paragraph: Women are happiest during the dry days. The number of days varies from person to person. For a 28-day cycle, it is about 3.5 days. For a 34-day cycle, it is about 6 days. (Equivalent to vaginal discharge after menstruation, which is small, white, and paste-like)

The third stage: about 3.3 days in a 28-day cycle and 6 days in a 34-day cycle, the vagina is moist, with a little mucus, which is "yellow" or white, opaque and sticky.

The fourth stage: about 2 days in a 28-day cycle, 3-4 days in a 34-day cycle, which is equivalent to the middle of the menstrual period when the ovaries are about to ovulate. Due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the amount of leucorrhea increases, and it is transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. It is sometimes more and sometimes "less", but the whole is more than the third stage.

The fifth stage: about 2 days in a 28-day cycle and 3 days in a 34-day cycle. The vagina is moist and slippery, with a lot of mucus, which is protein-like, transparent and elastic, and has a dark yellowish color. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and sticky but in small amounts.

The sixth stage: about 5-6 days, the vagina is dry and there is no mucus. (equivalent to vaginal discharge that is small in volume, white in color, and paste-like)

Stage 7: About 5-6 days, the vagina becomes moist, with a small amount of mucus, which is "yellow" or white, opaque and sticky. Now we are back to the first stage of seeing the red day.

Generally, 24-48 hours before menstruation, there is a little more leucorrhea, which is between transparent mucus and white, until menstruation. The increase of leucorrhea before menstruation is due to the gradual expansion of the cervical opening during menstruation, the secretion function of the columnar epithelial cells in the cervical canal is relatively strong, the amount of mucus increases, and it flows out together with the vaginal secretions.

Many people become particularly worried when they find that their leucorrhea increases before their menstruation, especially when there is some purulent secretion in their leucorrhea, they are afraid that they have gynecological inflammation. However, if you find that you have your menstruation two or three days later, you don’t need to worry too much. If your menstruation is delayed, you must go to the hospital for a detailed gynecological examination.
