White discharge on shorts

Women's lower body will produce secretions, this substance is leucorrhea, usually colorless or white. The amount of leucorrhea is not fixed and will be affected by many factors, resulting in an increase or decrease. It is important to find out the reason why there is white discharge on shorts. It may be leucorrhea or it may be something else. Let’s take a look at the main reasons for white discharge on shorts.

1. Where does the secretion come from?

Some of it is secreted by the cervical glands, some comes from the vaginal wall, and a small part is secreted by the endometrial glands and the large glands on both sides of the vaginal opening.

2. “What on earth are these things?”

There are some epithelial cells that have fallen off the vaginal mucosa, secretions from the sebaceous glands of the labia minora, a large number of vaginal bacilli (scientific name: Gram-positive lactobacilli), and a small number of white blood cells... there are probably more than twenty kinds of microorganisms.

3. "I don't like the look of this thing, and I don't like the smell of it. Can I get rid of it?"

No, because every woman needs it. The acidic environment in the vaginal cavity can prevent foreign pathogens from surviving and multiplying. This is the “vaginal self-cleaning function” that you may have heard so many times that your ears are callused but you may not truly understand it.

4. “I heard it has something to do with estrogen, is that right?”

yes. If the amount of estrogen in the body increases, secretions will also increase. These increased vaginal discharges are what most women hate to hear about: “leucorrhea.”

5. In addition to menstruation, what other factors can affect it?"

There are so many reasons that you may not even imagine, such as birth control pills, antibiotics, allergies, illness, pregnancy, childbirth, menstrual products, lack of sleep, unbalanced nutrition, mood swings and even stress!

6. "Pregnancy is exhausting enough, and the discharge from 'there' adds to the chaos. It's so annoying."

As pregnancy progresses, estrogen levels in the body gradually increase, thereby promoting increased secretion of the cervical and endometrial glands, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

7. "But what if he doesn't like it?"

Let him read this article carefully. Why are men so stupid? This is the most natural and normal physiological reaction, just like men also have all kinds of strange physiological phenomena. Who knows how many bacteria are hidden in his "thing"! It's just that there are no obvious symptoms. Don't think that you are healthy if you don't feel any pain or itching.

8. "I found that the discharge seems to be particularly heavy during the days in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Is it because I am about to ovulate?

"That's right. During ovulation, the endocervical glandular cells secrete vigorously. The secretion is very similar to thin, transparent egg white. It can even be stretched for several centimeters without breaking, and it is very elastic.
