These can reflect that menstruation is about to come. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of preparing for menstruation.

2. Will the amount of vaginal discharge increase before menstruation?

1. The increase in leucorrhea before menstruation is due to the gradual expansion of the cervical opening during menstruation and the vigorous secretory function of the columnar epithelial cells in the cervical canal. It is mostly a normal phenomenon. As vaginal exudate and cervical secretions increase, vaginal secretions will naturally increase.

2. Some women will experience more vaginal discharge during the ovulation period between two menstrual cycles or after fatigue. Paying attention to rest can significantly improve the symptoms. If the amount of leucorrhea is large, has an odor, and is accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching, it is likely that the abnormal leucorrhea is caused by infection. At this time, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive symptomatic treatment.
