Menstruation is something that every normal woman will experience. It also reflects the standard of a woman's physical health.

Leucorrhea is a kind of sticky white liquid that flows out of women's vagina. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrial secretions, vaginal mucosal exudates, and exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacilli, lysozyme, and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth.

Generally, the amount of vaginal discharge increases during the middle of the menstrual period, and it is thin and transparent. After ovulation, the vaginal discharge becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity. The amount of vaginal discharge increases before the menstrual period and during pregnancy. As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, it is normal to have more vaginal discharge during the menstrual period.

Physiological leucorrhea is white, thin, or egg white-like, highly viscous, without fishy odor, and in small amounts. It is not harmful to women's health. It is related to changes in the body's physiological condition. If a woman's vagina has white mucus like mucus or saliva, accompanied by systemic or local symptoms, it is called pathological leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by physical weakness or phlegm and dampness, equivalent to vaginitis in Western medicine, but routine examinations of leucorrhea often do not find pathogenic bacteria. Abnormal leucorrhea is manifested by changes in color, quality, and quantity.
