Patient's question:
What are the differences between the symptoms before menstruation and the symptoms of pregnancy? Also, what symptoms of increased leukorrhea appear a few days before menstruation? Does leukorrhea increase during pregnancy? Also, odor. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Normal vaginal discharge in women is a colorless, slightly acidic, viscous substance that helps moisten the vagina, excrete waste, and inhibit the growth of pathogens. It is a normal physiological phenomenon. The increase in vaginal discharge in healthy women is proportional to the elevated estrogen levels in the body. For example, during ovulation or pregnancy, the discharge may increase. Similar increases in discharge can also occur when the endometrium grows excessively or after the use of estrogen drugs. If the increase in discharge is accompanied by abnormal changes in color, odor, or texture, it should be a warning sign of pathological vaginal discharge, often indicating the presence of gynecological diseases in a woman's internal reproductive organs.
