Does less vaginal discharge mean that you are not ovulating? What are the symptoms of ovulation?

Leucorrhea stringiness is fluid discharged from the vagina. Healthy women all have leucorrhea stringiness. Leucorrhea comes from the cervix and vagina, and contains mucus secreted by the cervix, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and epidermal cells shed from the uterus and vagina. So what are the symptoms of female ovulation?

Does less vaginal discharge mean that you are not ovulating?

This is not certain. It depends on the individual constitution of the woman. Some women have less vaginal discharge, so less vaginal discharge does not necessarily mean no ovulation.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

During the ovulation period, due to the rupture of the female follicle and the fluctuation of estrogen in the body, there will be some symptoms:

1. As ovulation approaches, the cervical mucus becomes clear, smooth and elastic, like egg white, with high stringiness and not easy to break. The last day of the appearance of this mucus ± 48 hours is the ovulation day.

2. Women's basal body temperature changes periodically. The increase in basal body temperature after ovulation can indicate that ovulation has occurred. Ovulation generally occurs in the process of basal body temperature rising from low to high before it rises.

However, it should be noted that although the practice of inferring the ovulation period by observing the wetness and dryness of leucorrhea and vulva can indirectly infer the ovulation function of the ovaries in theory, it is still relatively rough. Moreover, if there are strings of leucorrhea, it does not necessarily mean that ovulation has occurred; and if ovulation has occurred, it does not necessarily mean that hormone secretion is normal and that pregnancy will be possible. Leucorrhea is just a signal. If you want to make a more accurate judgment, you can use basal body temperature and ovulation test strips to assist in the judgment!

The secret of leucorrhea: interpretation of cyclical changes

Leucorrhea is an acidic secretion that protects the vagina from bacterial invasion. It can be regarded as a caring little guard for women! Like menstruation, it also has periodic changes! Have you found the pattern of leucorrhea being sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes thick, sometimes thin? It turns out that the secretion of leucorrhea is related to ovarian endocrine hormones, especially cervical mucus, which also has periodic changes in quantity and quality at different stages of the menstrual cycle.

Generally speaking, the changes in leucorrhea during a menstrual cycle are as follows: more leucorrhea during ovulation and less at other times. In each menstrual cycle, a small amount of leucorrhea will appear a few days after the end of menstruation, and then gradually increase. The amount of leucorrhea is the largest during the ovulation period, and then gradually decreases until the next menstruation comes.

1. Before menstruation arrives, the ovaries mainly secrete estrogen, and the amount of leucorrhea will gradually increase. Under the action of estrogen, the amount of cervical mucus will also gradually increase, and become thinner and more translucent.

2. After menstruation, there is generally no leucorrhea secretion.

3. After the menstruation ends, the dry lower body will gradually become moist again.

4. When the ovulation period comes, the female estrogen level reaches its highest level. At this time, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and there will be clear mucus in the form of strips, which can be stretched into threads. When this kind of leucorrhea flows out, women have a noticeable greasy feeling.

5. After ovulation, the ovaries mainly secrete progesterone, which will organize the cervix to secrete a large amount of mucus, so the leucorrhea will be reduced and the lower body will be drier. After about 10 days, menstruation will come.

6. For some sisters, the amount of leucorrhea will increase slightly 1-2 days before menstruation. This is mainly due to the exfoliated epithelium of the vagina, uterine secretions and bacteria, rather than the sticky cervical mucus.
