When a woman is approaching menopause, she will not experience abnormal leukorrhea and may experience a decrease in the amount of leukorrhea. If there are abnormalities such as yellowish leukorrhea and odor, it is necessary to consider whether there is vaginitis or cervical inflammation, etc. It is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the condition and take targeted treatment, and not to deal with it blindly on your own to avoid delaying and aggravating the condition.
Leukorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucous membrane exudate, cervical canal and endometrial gland secretion, etc. Normal leukorrhea is relatively small in amount, white and thin paste or egg white-like, without obvious odor. When a woman is about to go through menopause, due to the decline of ovarian function, the level of estrogen in the body is relatively low, and the amount of leukorrhea will be reduced, but it will not lead to abnormal leukorrhea color or odor.
If the color of the leukorrhea is abnormal or there is a strange smell, it is necessary to consult a doctor for relevant laboratory tests in a timely manner. During perimenopause, the level of estrogen decreases and the resistance of the reproductive tract is lowered, making it easy for reproductive tract infections, such as vaginitis and cervical inflammation, to occur.
If there is bloody leukorrhea, you need to consider whether there is endometriosis or cervical lesions, you need to go to the hospital for ultrasound examination, cervical cancer screening, diagnostic curettage if necessary, or colposcopy for biopsy.
It is recommended that if a woman is unwell or in doubt, she should seek medical attention from a professional doctor to determine her condition and carry out targeted treatment.
