What is the reason why leukorrhea is as sticky as mucus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Consider it to be leukorrhea during the ovulation period. During ovulation, leukorrhea increases in volume, becomes thin in texture, clear in color, and resembles egg white in appearance, stretching into threads. After ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease while progesterone levels rise. The secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium content in the mucus also decreases, making the leukorrhea at this time thick in texture, creamy white in color, and poor in extensibility, with threads easily breaking.
