Increased vaginal discharge after intercourse

Increased vaginal discharge is mainly caused by the influence of estrogen in women's bodies. After having sex, a large amount of estrogen will be secreted in women's bodies due to sexual intercourse. At the same time, due to vaginal intercourse, the glands will begin to secrete lubricants to facilitate sexual intercourse. The changes in the hormonal environment and the large amount of secretion of the glands will increase the amount of leucorrhea after having sex. This is a relatively normal and natural phenomenon. As a female friend, what we need to do is to maintain personal hygiene.

The amount of mucus secreted by the cervix, which is the main component of leucorrhea, is completely controlled by the hormone level in the body.

Under normal circumstances, in the days before ovulation, the estrogen level in the body gradually increases, the secretion of cervical mucus also gradually increases, and the amount of leucorrhea is the largest on the eve of ovulation. After ovulation, estrogen levels decrease and become thicker. This change is actually to adapt to the meeting of egg and sperm during ovulation. It is not difficult to see from this normal physiological law that the amount of vaginal discharge can increase with the increase of estrogen levels.

It is precisely because sexual intercourse relies on the drive of estrogen in the body that experts from gynecological hospitals point out that every time sexual intercourse occurs, the body will mobilize estrogen. As sexual intercourse progresses and sexual climax occurs, there will be a temporary increase in estrogen in the body. Relying on this nerve reflex, the relevant glands will greatly increase the production of secretions. This is true during the ovulation period and the non-ovulation period.

Of course, due to the temporary increase in estrogen levels, the secretion of cervical mucus, paraurethral gland fluid or Bartholin's gland fluid will also temporarily increase. Therefore, the amount of leucorrhea after sexual intercourse will increase than usual. This is the reason. Generally speaking, in young and middle-aged people, the level of estrogen in the body increases, the metabolism of sex hormones is very active, and the function of the glands is also very active.

On the contrary, after old age, the level of sex hormone metabolism in the body decreases, the glandular function also declines, and the secretion fluid decreases. Therefore, even if the elderly have sexual desires, the vaginal opening is not easy to lubricate, which affects the sexual life.
