1. Identify normal vaginal discharge and pathological discharge
Normal vaginal discharge and pathological discharge can be distinguished through some of the following characteristics:1.1 Normal discharge
Normal discharge is white like egg white or may be slightly yellow, has no odor or slight fishy smell, does not cause itching. The amount and nature of physiological vaginal discharge varies depending on the age, stage in the menstrual cycle as well as the special times of a woman.
Vaginal discharge changes frequently according to the menstrual cycle. In the period before and after ovulation, the discharge is usually less and not persistent. At the time of ovulation, vaginal discharge is usually abundant, thin and tough. Vaginal discharge at this stage has a toughness that can be stretched.
The amount of vaginal discharge also changes with each stage of a woman's development. Vaginal discharge is formed by the effect of the female hormone estrogen, the amount of secretion is more or less in each woman of all ages, so that is different. In girls, the genital system is not fully developed, in general there is no hormone in the vagina, so there is no discharge.
Entering puberty, the ovaries gradually develop more perfect, secrete stimulants that cause the genitourinary system to produce hormones, so there is vaginal discharge. In adulthood, the ovaries are fully developed, so they secrete estrogen and progesterone every month, so vaginal discharge occurs and changes according to the cycle, depending on the amount of estrogen secreted more or less. After your period ends, you may notice no vaginal discharge, and dry vaginal discharge.
There is also the time between menstrual cycles, especially before ovulation 12-24 hours, the amount of estrogen in the body increases, the secretion is much, so it makes women feel wet and uncomfortable at their door. .
Therefore, during this time, if you see a lot of vaginal discharge without a bad smell or itching, your girlfriend does not need to worry too much. After ovulation, the amount of estrogen decreases, the amount of progesterone increases, thus inhibiting the secretion of cervical mucus, causing vaginal discharge to lose its wetness and become sticky.
