Is it normal to have colorless and odorless vaginal discharge?

Female friends all know that leucorrhea is secreted by the female vagina after being stimulated. It is white in color and odorless. After being infected by inflammation or bacteria, it will cause abnormal leucorrhea diseases, such as yellow leucorrhea, fishy leucorrhea, etc. Some patients' leucorrhea is mostly colorless and odorless, so patients will ask if it is normal to have mostly colorless and odorless leucorrhea? There are two types of colorless and odorless leucorrhea. It is normal to have this symptom during ovulation, and it is abnormal to have this symptom at other times. Let us understand the reasons together.

Leucorrhea is vaginal discharge, which is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical glands and endometrial gland secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells, white blood cells and some non-pathogenic bacteria. Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of vaginal discharge changes with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the vaginal discharge is small in volume, white in color, and paste-like. In the middle of the menstrual cycle when the ovaries are about to ovulate, due to the vigorous secretion of the cervical glands, the leucorrhea increases and becomes transparent and slightly sticky like egg white. 2 to 3 days after ovulation, vaginal discharge becomes turbid, thick and less in quantity. Before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, vaginal mucosal exudate increases and leucorrhea often increases.

If there are abnormal changes in the color, quality, and quantity of leucorrhea, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. It is caused by the following reasons:

Pathological leucorrhea

Women may experience abnormal vaginal discharge due to physiological changes, such as changes in the color, flow, and smell of the discharge. It is often accompanied by itching and pain in the vulva. This abnormal leucorrhea requires immediate medical treatment.

Increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy

When a woman is pregnant, the secretion of sex hormones increases, causing the cervical glands to proliferate and secrete more thick mucus. In addition, as the fetus grows, it compresses the mother's pelvic cavity and vagina. It causes nearby blood vessels to dilate and become congested, and also causes an increase in vaginal mucosal exudate, so that vaginal secretions show a normal physiological hyperactivity phenomenon. No treatment is needed as it is not an infection.

Increased pressure discharge

In a fiercely competitive environment, some women, in order not to be eliminated and for high salaries, often set excessive demands and goals for themselves. They are busy with work, socializing, and "recharging". Excessive mental stress can cause neurological disorders in the long run, affect the body's endocrine regulation, and lead to increased vaginal discharge.

Periodic increase in vaginal discharge

White friends change cyclically just like red friends, but in the early stages, due to the incomplete function of the girl's ovaries and unstable menstrual cycles, white friends will meet you less frequently. When a girl matures, her vaginal discharge will be extremely thin and transparent during ovulation. 2-3 days after ovulation, the leucorrhea gradually becomes thicker and turbid, and the amount gradually decreases. This is all normal.

Frequent sexual activity and increased leucorrhea

When women have sex after marriage, sexual excitement will cause pelvic congestion, followed by a large increase in vaginal secretions and a significant increase in leucorrhea. The longer the stimulation time and the stronger the stimulation, the more secretions. These are all normal physiological phenomena and reactions. In addition, women in social situations may also have more vaginal discharge due to sexual thoughts.

The above is an introduction to colorless and odorless leucorrhea. After reading the article, you will find that colorless and odorless leucorrhea is normal sometimes. When patients find that their leucorrhea has increased, they should observe whether there are other symptoms of discomfort in the body. They can preliminarily judge the abnormality of leucorrhea. If the patient can confirm that the leucorrhea is abnormal, they should go to the hospital for a leucorrhea examination to confirm the disease.
