What does the vaginal discharge look like when your period is coming?

The appearance of leucorrhea can be used to determine whether the female reproductive organs are inflamed. If the female reproductive organs are inflamed, the leucorrhea may appear to be bean dregs, have a foul odor, or bean green in color. Of course, leucorrhea has more than just this function. People can also judge what period they are in by the appearance of the leucorrhea. For example, the leucorrhea during the ovulation period is jelly-like, so what does the leucorrhea look like when menstruation is about to come?

1. If there is no leucorrhea before the menstrual period, does it mean that I am pregnant?

You cannot judge whether you are pregnant by whether you have leucorrhea. If your period is delayed for more than a week, and you have had sex in the last month without taking proper contraceptive measures, and there is a possibility of pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium and have a blood test for HCG to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

2. Leucorrhea will increase before menstruation

Many women experience increased vaginal discharge before their period. Increased vaginal discharge is also a type of abnormal vaginal discharge, so it is inevitable that people will be nervous when this happens.

1. Between two menstrual periods (i.e. ovulation period), the leucorrhea is abundant, transparent, sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads. Normal leucorrhea is milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. The amount and texture of secretion are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary cyclically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and concentrations.

2. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in amount, white in color, and in a paste-like state. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. 2-3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.

3. After the menstruation is over, the blood flow in the uterus and vagina returns to normal, and the leucorrhea also decreases. In addition to the increase in leucorrhea before menstruation, some people also have more leucorrhea when they are tired and ovulating, which is all normal. If the color of the leucorrhea turns yellow, becomes purulent, has a foul odor, and is accompanied by vulvar itching, this is abnormal and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Generally, the leucorrhea before menstruation will increase, and the symptoms will be increased leucorrhea in the middle of menstruation, which will be thin and transparent. The symptoms of leucorrhea after ovulation and before menstruation include leucorrhea becoming thicker, turbid and less in amount. The symptoms of leucorrhea increase during pregnancy and before menstruation. Under physiological conditions, the secretion of leucorrhea often increases 2-3 days before and after menstruation, during ovulation, pregnancy and sexual intercourse. The amount of leucorrhea will increase before menstruation. As the cervical opening gradually expands during menstruation, the secretory function of the columnar epithelial cells in the cervical canal is relatively strong, and the amount of mucus increases and flows out together with the vaginal secretions.

Before and after menstruation, vaginal exudate and cervical secretions increase due to pelvic congestion and the influence of estrogen. These factors can increase leucorrhea. Physiological increase in leucorrhea mainly occurs during ovulation, usually in the middle of the menstrual cycle. However, if the increase in leucorrhea is pathological, it must be treated in time. To treat abnormal leucorrhea, scientific testing and symptomatic treatment are the key. Warm reminder: Female friends must pay attention to this. If the increase in vaginal discharge is not physiological, female friends should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time.
