Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, I have been working all the time, and I don't know if I have leukorrhea. Please ask: When is leukorrhea normal?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea is a viscous white liquid discharged from the vagina of women. It is composed of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrial fluid, exudate from vaginal mucosa, and shed vaginal epithelial cells. Leukorrhea reappears throughout a woman's entire menstrual cycle. At different times, the amount and characteristics of leukorrhea can vary greatly. For example, in the premenopausal period, a woman's leukorrhea is translucent, odorless, and wet. During the ovulation period, when the leukorrhea is abundant, clear and translucent, and relatively more elastic, it is considered normal.
