Will the amount of leucorrhea increase during ovulation?

Ovulation is the main form of female reproduction. Women produce eggs through their ovaries. After the follicles mature, they have the ability to combine with sperm, fertilize the eggs, and form embryos. Therefore, ovulation is a very important process. So what changes will occur during ovulation? Will the amount of leucorrhea increase during ovulation? Women should be aware of these issues.

The main component of leucorrhea is cervical mucus, which is controlled by hormones secreted by the ovaries. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, that is, before ovulation, the amount gradually increases and becomes thinner and more translucent, causing the lower body, which has been relatively dry after menstruation, to gradually become moist. When ovulation occurs, the secretion of leucorrhea reaches its peak, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and its toughness is the greatest. Thin strips of leucorrhea often flow out, which can sometimes be as long as more than ten centimeters (i.e., thread-like). At this time, the woman's lower body is the wettest. When the above-mentioned strip-like leucorrhea flows out, there will be a greasy feeling. This large amount of cervical mucus secretion during ovulation can last for about 2-3 days, which is when women feel the most moist.

Generally speaking, before ovulation, due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands are stimulated to proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water, causing the amount of leucorrhea to increase during ovulation, and the texture is thin, clear, and looks like egg white, which can be stretched into long threads. After ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decrease, progesterone levels increase, the secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus also decreases, making the leucorrhea at this time thick, milky white, with poor ductility, and easy to break when drawn.

Therefore, everyone should understand that there are some precautions during the ovulation period, and it is advisable for women to choose breathable underwear in daily life. Don't wear silk underwear, cotton underwear will be more comfortable. Underwear that is not breathable and does not absorb water can easily make it possible for mold to grow. Underwear should be hand-washed separately and exposed to the sun at high temperatures for better sterilization effects.
