Patient's question:
I got my period on the 8th of last month, but on the 5th of this month, my leukorrhea was especially abundant, always wetting through my pants, making me think it was my period coming. Is it like this before the period?Doctor's answer:
After menstruation, the amount of vaginal discharge is small, white, and has a paste-like consistency. During the mid-cycle when the ovary is about to ovulate, due to the abundant secretion of cervical glands, leukorrhea increases, becomes transparent, and is slightly sticky, resembling egg white. 2-3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes cloudy, viscous, and less in amount. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, the amount of vaginal mucosal exudate increases, often leading to an increase in leukorrhea.It is recommended that you visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a routine leukorrhea examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area, change underwear frequently, preferably by exposing them to sunlight, and avoid washing them with socks.
