The body will send you many signals before ovulation arrives, and the leukorrhea will also have its own expression. By observing the leukorrhea, we can also get a better grasp of information related to ovulation, which can be equally helpful for conception. What is leukorrhea? Leukorrhea is a secretion unique to the female vagina, consisting mainly of lactobacillus, lysozyme and some antibodies, which is very effective in sterilizing and lubricating the vagina. It is very important for women to prevent bacterial infections in the vagina and to enhance the comfort of sexual life. What is the relationship between leukorrhea and cervical mucus? There are many proper names in gynecology that often confuse women’s perceptions, such as cervical mucus. Many people feel that there is no difference between this and leucorrhea, it is just one thing, but what is the truth? Cervical mucus is just a component of the leukorrhea. In addition to cervical mucus, leukorrhea also includes secretions from the endometrial glands and vaginal exudate, and the composition is very complex. The periodic changes in the leucorrhea The leucorrhea is cyclical, and women can find some clues if they pay attention to it. The actual fact is that there is no leucorrhea during the menstrual period, and it will only slowly resume after the period is over. Around the time of ovulation, the level of estrogen in the ovaries gradually becomes higher, stimulating the cervical mucus to become thinner and more transparent, and the leucorrhea is also increasing. After ovulation, the leucorrhea will gradually decrease due to the secretion of progesterone, and menstruation will occur in about 10 days. Some women have slightly more leucorrhea a day or two before menstruation, which is actually normal. At this time, the main component of leucorrhea is no longer cervical mucus, but overflow from the vagina and uterine secretions. In a nutshell, the leucorrhea is most abundant during ovulation and relatively less at other times. However, this change is not sudden, as the amount of leukorrhea is slowly increasing before ovulation, in the form of “stretched” leukorrhea, which is medically referred to as “egg-white discharge”. The reason for this is the dilution of the cervical mucus due to the increased secretion of estrogen by the ovaries. This “stretched” leucorrhea indicates that you are ovulating. It disappears after ovulation. How often is it appropriate to have intercourse with streaky leucorrhea? Usually, the day of ovulation is the day when the amount of streaky leucorrhea is the highest, and the conception rate is highest on that day. From a scientific point of view, the day of ovulation can be determined when the leucorrhoea is 4~375px in length, but women may not be able to judge accurately due to lack of experience, so there is no need to be too cautious, as both sperm and eggs can survive in the body for several days, and the appearance of a filamentous leucorrhoea means that the day of ovulation is not far away, so you can have intercourse. However, ovulation is not guaranteed to be completely accurate by observing the leucorrhea, because various factors such as endocrine conditions, ovarian function and genital inflammation can affect the leucorrhea secretion, and this method can only be considered a rough guess.
