Doctor's answer:
Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, slightly fishy or odorless. Its secretion volume and texture are influenced by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, exhibiting cyclical changes in amount (more or less) and consistency (thinner or thicker) throughout the menstrual cycle. If leukorrhea increases without reason or is accompanied by changes in color, texture, or odor, you should be vigilant. It is best to visit a hospital for a check-up to accurately identify the cause and then receive appropriate treatment based on the situation.
