Patient's question:
Doctor,I would like to ask how normal cervical mucus should be?
In the past few months, I have noticed that about 5-6 days after my period ends, my cervical mucus becomes quite abundant and sticky. Within less than a day, my underwear gets covered with a layer of yellowish-white, dried mucus that feels a bit hard. I have been to the hospital for a check-up, but they didn’t say much, only mentioned that I might have some vaginal inflammation. I have been using external cleaning solutions for the vagina and rinsing it, but it hasn’t been very effective. Could you please explain what might be happening and how I should handle it?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, slightly fishy or odorless. When leukorrhea becomes abnormal, the situation changes. Based on the symptoms you described, it is mainly considered to be vaginitis, vulvitis, or cervicitis, among other possibilities. This requires timely medical examination to clarify the condition and then provide targeted treatment. A leukorrhea routine test is necessary.
