Female friends usually care about their vaginal discharge situation, because whether vaginal discharge is normal is closely related to health. If there is an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge or if there is an odor in the discharge, it is considered an abnormal symptom. Some women may find that their vaginal discharge is different before and after their menstrual period. So, is it normal for vaginal discharge to be abnormal before and after their menstrual period?
Under normal circumstances, vaginal discharge appears milky white or colorless and transparent, odorless, or has a slight fishy odor. The levels of estrogen and progesterone have an impact on their secretion and texture, and vaginal discharge undergoes periodic changes with the menstrual cycle. Before and after menstruation, there may be changes in vaginal discharge. If there is excessive and transparent vaginal discharge, it will be sticky like egg white and can be pulled into thin strands, which is a normal situation.
However, it should be noted that if the white discharge turns yellow, excessive, and appears as tofu residue, it is an abnormal situation, which may be caused by vaginitis. It is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment in a timely manner.
Additionally, some women may experience abnormal vaginal discharge after their menstrual cycle, which is likely due to cervical inflammation. Contact bleeding is a common symptom, and vaginal discharge may also have a strange odor, appearing yellow or gray. When these abnormal symptoms occur, attention should be paid.
In addition, there may be ovulation bleeding before and after menstruation, with blood or brown discharge in the vaginal discharge, which is likely caused by ovulation bleeding. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon, there is no need to worry, it usually returns to normal after two or three days.
