Patient's question:
During the luteal phase, there might be slightly yellowish discharge, but it disappears after a few days. Is this normal? At other times, there is very little discharge, and it doesn't itch.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the luteal phase refers to the period from ovulation to the day before menstruation. Under the influence of luteinizing hormone, the ovaries secrete progesterone to maintain the thickened endometrium, facilitating the implantation of the fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, the endometrium will break down, and the menstrual cycle will end with the onset of menstruation. Before menstruation arrives, leukorrhea may increase again, becoming slightly yellow and possibly faintly fishy in odor. Considering you may be about to have your period.
