A woman’s leucorrhoea comes from the cervix. On the outside of the front end of the cervix, there is a layer of relatively tight squamous epithelial cells with strong resistance, so it is less likely to be damaged during sex, even if it is physically impacted; while on its inner side, at the endocervix, are columnar epithelial cells with the ability to secrete.
When women produce estrogen during ovulation, the ovaries have more estrogen receptors here, so under the direct influence of the hormone, the columnar epithelial cells will secrete a lot of colorless or slightly white secretion, which is the leukorrhea.
Under normal circumstances, the leukorrhea varies in nature at different times before and after the menstrual period. For example, during ovulation, the leucorrhea increases and becomes clear and watery, like egg white; before menstruation, the leucorrhea becomes white, thick and even somewhat yellowish; after menstruation, the leucorrhea turns to a more transparent state. Normal leukorrhea is a white, clear, sticky and odorless liquid.
It contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the function of inhibiting bacterial growth and balancing beneficial and harmful flora. The leukorrhea also allows you to observe vaginal disease lesions infections vaginitis and other female gynecological diseases.
Some women are more sensitive to leukorrhea and may feel confused and uncomfortable due to a slight increase in discharge from the genital tract, because of the feeling of wetness in the vulva, and rush to seek medical attention. In fact, all healthy women with estrogen influence will have leukorrhea, which is not a lesion and does not need to be observed in the hospital.
