In addition to Aunt Jun, a woman's good friend also has such a thing as white belt. Leucorrhea is a discharge from the vagina, and by observing whether the vaginal discharge is normal, you can self-measure the health of the reproductive tract. So do you know how white discharge is normal? Let's find out with the editor!
Normal morphology of leucorrhoea
1. Menstrual cycle
At different stages of the menstrual cycle, there will be different vaginal discharge.
(1) A large amount of egg white-like, brushed leucorrhoea
During the menstrual cycle, one of the peaks of estrogen is during ovulation.
At this time, the cervical columnar epithelium, vaginal mucosa, glands and other secretory functions become vigorous, so the amount of vaginal discharge during ovulation is large, transparent and egg white-like, stringy, often the vulva will have a moist feeling, and there will be some traces of secretion on the underwear.
Immediately after the luteal phase, before and after menstruation, because the congestion of the entire pelvic floor organ tissue leads to increased secretion, there will be a feeling of dampness in the vulva, and sometimes there are traces of leucorrhea in the underwear.
This is very normal, and the majority of women do not have to worry about it at all.
(2) White, yellowish viscous leucorrhoea
After ovulation, it enters the luteal phase, and the secretion of progesterone increases, and the secretion of leucorrhea at this time decreases, so it becomes viscous and mixed with a large number of exfoliated cells, so the leucorrhea at this time is white and even a little yellow.
2. Lifestyle habits
The characteristics of leucorrhea are also affected by factors such as drinking water, diet, environment, work, personal hygiene and lifestyle habits.
The minor changes listed below are also within normal limits:
Obviously, if you drink less water, your vaginal discharge will turn yellow;
Sometimes, if you eat chili peppers and seafood for a few days in a row, there will be changes in the characteristics of leucorrhoea, but after a few days, it will return to normal.
At this time, the correct thing to do is to scrub the vulva with water every night and keep it dry and clean.
3. Age stage
At different ages, the traits of leucorrhoea are different, such as:
During pregnancy, although the menstruation is temporary, due to the effect of estrogen in the woman's body, coupled with the abundant blood supply, the secretion and exudation of the cervix and vaginal wall will also increase, and the leucorrhea will naturally increase;
In the newlywed honeymoon period, because of frequent sexual impulses and sexual contact, it will also lead to more vaginal discharge;
In postmenopausal women, due to the decline of ovarian function, hormone levels decline, and the corresponding organ atrophy and degeneration, the secretion of leucorrhea will decrease or even disappear.
