Normal vaginal discharge should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slight fishy or odorless odor. Its secretion is affected by the level of estrogen and pregnancy hormone in the body. According to the different quantity of Menstrual cycle, there are fewer periodic changes and less quality. Generally speaking, on ovulation days, there are more vaginal discharge, which is transparent and causes nasal discharge. During menstruation, there are more vaginal discharge.

Pregnancy: During pregnancy, women are influenced by hormone levels and secrete strong mucus. As the uterus expands, the pelvis and vagina are compressed, and nearby blood vessels dilate, congestion, and vaginal mucosal exudation increase, but treatment is not required. 3. Sexual arousal or sexual intercourse: normal sexual life or Sexual arousal will stimulate the production of Vaginal discharge, leading to an increase in leucorrhea, which is a normal physiological reaction. 4.
