The cycle begins on the first day of menarche, and it is difficult to distinguish normal discharge from menstrual blood in the first few days. After menstruation, I feel very dry, which means I don’t feel any discharge and there are no traces on my underwear. In fact, although nothing was found, the vagina still regulates vaginal moisture by itself through desquamation of the inner wall and leakage of secretions. At this time, the cervix has no mucus and is acidic, so sperm cannot survive here.
After a few days, it was close to ovulation. The cervix begins to secrete mucus Uterus , used to lubricate the inner wall of the uterus and create a good environment for sperm. At this time, the secretion increases and flows out of the vagina, and traces can be seen on the underwear. The panties were soaked, and the labia majora were very wet. If you want to observe the secretions, wipe the vagina with toilet paper and you will find that the secretions are white, light yellow, sticky, thin and shiny, and sometimes seem to be light cream in color, and the amount is not large.
As ovulation approaches, the secretions also increase and become clear and sticky. Take a little and observe it. You will find that it is as thick and elastic as lubricant.
Most people use the color left under their pants as an indicator when judging leucorrhea.
Most people use the color of leucorrhea left on the bottom of their pants as an indicator when judging leucorrhea, but sometimes it is colored by urine and looks close to yellow. Sometimes it is because the secretion is thicker and thicker during ovulation, but sometimes it is indeed caused by some infections. How do you know whether your color and amount are normal?
actually female The vagina is usually kept in a moist state, and there will be a small amount of transparent, almost white, odorless secretions secreted from the vaginal opening. This mucus is called "leucorrhea".
Normal leucorrhea will also change with the menstrual cycle. The following conditions will naturally cause more leucorrhea:
The secretion will increase one or two days before the ovulation day, and on the day of ovulation, there will be a thicker, mucus-like secretion. If it is stretched by hand until it is 10-15 cm elastic, it means that it is the ovulation day (the ovulation day can also be determined based on this).
Pregnant women may also have a greater amount of leucorrhea.
Or a few days before menstruation, or on that day, there will be more secretion and a darker color.
In addition, when the leucorrhea increases, you can observe its color, smell, and whether it causes vaginal itching. In normal non-ovulatory and non-premenstrual periods, you can also do a simple self-examination: the color is clean, mucus-like, small or medium amount, no special odor, and not itchy. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. It may be due to a stressful life, high pressure, or approaching the ovulation period.
It is possible that it is suspected Vaginitis or son Cervicitis
Milk-like color, thick, medium to large amount, not itchy, may be suspected of vaginitis or cervicitis.
It is white cheese-like, thick, slightly sweet, and the vagina is a little itchy, which may be a suspected Candida infection.
It is yellow-green, thin with foam, has a foul smell, and often has vaginal itching, which may indicate a vaginal trichomoniasis infection.
Brown, watery, musty smell, suspected to be vaginitis, endometritis or intrauterine contraceptive device.
Possible inflammation of cervicitis or infection in vagina
Gray with bloodshot, thin, small to large amount, unpleasant smell, may be cervicitis or infection in the vagina.
When situations like items 2-6 above occur, you must seek medical treatment immediately. The doctor may give antibiotics or electrocautery for treatment based on internal diagnosis.
If it is odorless, light-colored, and does not cause vaginal itching, it is considered normal. But there are still some physical differences in the amount. In general, excessive leucorrhea is believed to be related to a colder uterus and less smooth circulation of qi and blood according to traditional Chinese medicine. If this is the case, you can start from two aspects: diet and exercise.
Diet: In daily diet, you can avoid some cooler foods such as cabbage, green tea, white radish, melons, oranges, etc.
Exercise: Doing more pelvic exercises and lower abdominal exercises can also effectively improve the blood circulation of the uterus, which is beneficial to women’s smooth and smooth menstruation. Dysmenorrhea Or whether ovulation is normal or not is very helpful.
It is best to use sanitary pads sparingly
In addition, in terms of personal hygiene, the best way is to wear cotton breathable underwear, and be sure to wipe it clean after going to the toilet. If you use sanitary pads, remember to change them frequently, because adding an extra pad to the underwear will often increase the temperature of the vagina, making it easier for bacteria to breed.
