Patient's question:
I have already finished my period for four days, which is on the 10th. This day should be considered the ovulation period, I'm not very good at calculating this, but I noticed that my vaginal discharge increased, about 5 milliliters or so, similar to the sensation of having a period—sometimes it would come out a little, leaving a small stain on my underwear, which was a bit thick but without any odor. When I went to the bathroom to urinate, I would also release a small amount, about 2 to 3 milliliters, about twice a day. There were no other discomforts on my body. If there was sexual activity, the first three days should be absolutely safe, right?What I'm looking for: Please, experts, provide a detailed explanation based on my words and speculate what this could be.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your menstrual cycle is regular, it usually takes at least 10 days after the end of your period before you can expect your period to stop. If it's irregular, it could stop at any time. Menopause is also a period, not an exact one or two days, so there's never absolute safety at any time. If your menstrual cycle is regular, it is relatively safe around 2-3 days before and after your period.An increase in leukorrhea is a common gynecological condition.
