Ovulatory leukorrhea is usually clear and pulpy, not milky.
Leukorrhea is a female vaginal secretion that is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical mucus and endometrial secretion. Leukorrhea is affected by hormones in the body and changes in color and character.
When the follicle begins to develop, the level of estrogen in a woman’s body rises, the amount of leukorrhea increases, and the color is milky white. As the follicle continues to develop, the level of estrogen rises, and the leukorrhea becomes transparent and can be stretched, and this stage is close to ovulation.
After ovulation, estrogen levels decrease and progesterone levels rise, at which point the leukorrhea will become thicker, milky white and less malleable. However, the color and nature of the leukorrhea are not static, and will change with a woman’s diet, lifestyle, and illness. If, in addition to abnormal leukorrhea, there is also vulvar itching, abnormal odor, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
