Generally, the amount of leucorrhea is less after the menstrual period; before the ovulation period, due to the increase of estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical gland are proliferated, the secretion of cervical mucus is increased, and the content of sodium chloride in the mucus is increased, which can absorb more. Moisture, increase leucorrhea during ovulation, thin, clear, appearance like egg clear, can pull filament; after ovulation, estrogen levels are getting lower, progesterone levels are elevated, secretion of cervical mucus is inhibited, mucus The content of sodium chloride is also reduced, so that the leucorrhea is thick and thick at this time, the color is white, the ductility is deteriorated, and the drawing is easy to break.
