How long after menstruation does ovulation occur?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after my period do I ovulate?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the ovulation date for women is generally around 14 days before the next menstrual period. Starting from the first day of the next menstrual period, count backwards 14 days or subtract 14 days to find the ovulation day. The ovulation day, along with the 5 days before it and the 4 days after it, are collectively referred to as the fertile window. Generally, during the fertile window, vaginal discharge increases. Moreover, the discharge usually becomes thin and stretchy, colorless and odorless.
