Patient's question:
Recently, it seems there's been some issue with the gynecology department. There's been an increase in leukorrhea. While taking a shower, I accidentally noticed that the leukorrhea had a jelly-like consistency. What's going on? I've never seen this symptom before, and it hasn't stopped yet. Could there be some gynecological disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal vaginal discharge is white and pasty, generally odorless, with varying amounts, related to the level of estrogen in the body and the congestion of the reproductive organs. Near the time of ovulation, the discharge is abundant, clear and transparent, thin like egg white. 2-3 days after ovulation, the discharge becomes cloudy and viscous, with less volume. Before menstruation, the amount increases again. During pregnancy, the discharge is relatively abundant.The jelly-like discharge you mentioned refers to egg white-like discharge, right? If there is no odor and no other discomfort, it's nothing to worry about. It could be ovulation, and medication is not necessary.
