Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Generally, during the period between two menstrual cycles (equivalent to the ovulation period), estrogen secretion reaches its peak. Excessive estrogen stimulates the cervical glands to secrete more mucus, so the amount of leukorrhea is increased at this time. It is thin, transparent, like egg white, viscous, and can be stretched into threads. The external genital area feels moist. After the ovary ovulates, progesterone increases and inhibits the secretion of cervical mucus. At this time, the amount of leukorrhea is reduced, and it becomes thick.
