What is the cause of increased vaginal discharge after menstruation?

Leucorrhea is a vaginal discharge and is a normal physiological phenomenon for every adult woman. Normal leucorrhea secretion changes with the changes in hormones in women's bodies, especially during the ovulation period, when the secretion of leucorrhea will be relatively more. Different conditions of leucorrhea also mean whether our body is healthy. So what is the reason for the increase of leucorrhea after menstruation? Let’s take a look.

The following are the reasons why women have more leucorrhea:

(1) Vaginal Trichomonas infection: This infection can easily cause an increase in vaginal discharge, accompanied by a foul odor, and can also cause itching in the genitals. It is generally believed that this infection is a type of sexually transmitted disease, which can easily be transmitted between sexual partners. During treatment, the sexual partners must be treated at the same time to prevent cross-infection and achieve a complete cure.

(2) Cervical erosion: Childbirth trauma, changes in sex hormones, or cervical inflammation caused by sexual intercourse may all lead to cervical erosion and increase the amount of leucorrhea. A small number of women may experience cervical erosion without any cause, which is called "congenital cervical erosion", which can also cause increased leucorrhea.

(3) Viral infections of the cervix, vagina and vulva: Some viral infections can be cured without treatment, such as the virus that causes the common cold. However, if it is a venereal disease such as condyloma acuminatum, it will often cause an increase in leucorrhea.

(4) Foreign objects have entered the reproductive organs: There are gauze, tampons, menstrual plugs, etc. in the vagina. Some women have placed contraceptive devices because their uterus is not suitable for some reason. These can stimulate the reproductive organs and increase the amount of leucorrhea.

(5) Pathogen infection: Using contaminated sanitary products can cause pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening, causing infection and increased vaginal discharge. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing increased vaginal discharge.

Through the content introduced above, I believe that many friends have a more comprehensive understanding of the reasons why leucorrhea increases after menstruation. I hope that these contents can help more female friends. The color, shape, and amount of leucorrhea are important signals of the health of the female reproductive system.
