In simple terms, leukorrhea is the secretion present in the vagina, a mixture of mucus and exudate from the part of the female reproductive organs that has the function of secretion.

　　Is yellowish leukorrhea always a gynecological disease?

　　In detail, the main components of leukorrhea come from these sources:

　　Mucus secreted by glands at the cervical opening and in the cervical canal.

　　Mucus exuded from the endometrium and vaginal mucosa.

　　Epidermal cells shed by the cervix and vagina

　　A small number of white blood cells

　　Intrinsic vaginal flora and its metabolites

　　From this, it is possible to recognize:

　　Leukorrhea has nothing to do with detoxification and does not involve toxins or metabolic wastes, etc;

　　The amount of leukorrhea depends mainly on the secretion and exudation function of the cervix, endometrium and vaginal mucosa;

　　It is important to note that the mucus produced during intercourse is also part of the leukorrhea, and is mainly secreted by the vestibular glands located at the vaginal opening when they are stimulated, but not normally produced if they are not stimulated.

　　What is the use of leukorrhea?

　　Some people ask if it is possible to have no leukorrhea since it is so easy to get into trouble. In fact, it is not possible. Leukorrhea still has its own functions, mainly in these aspects:

　　1. Vaginal lubricant

　　The vagina is usually closed, and the front and back walls are close together.

　　The moist environment formed by the leukorrhea can reduce the friction between the front and back walls of the vagina and protect the vaginal walls from damage. There are some women who often douche the vagina, resulting in very little leukorrhea in the vagina, which can damage the vaginal mucosa instead.

　　At the same time, in this moist environment, the vaginal mucosa will be more elastic, can increase the quality of coitus.

　　2. Natural protective barrier

　　The balance of vaginal flora formed by leukorrhea can resist the invasion of foreign pathogens.

　　3. Aids in conception

　　Ovulation period, the amount of leukorrhea is the largest, the role of this time is mainly so that the male "tadpole" can be along the leukorrhea and egg combination, you know, the sperm has a characteristic, that is, it will be against the flow of the flow.

　　Therefore, the ovulation white belt is simply a natural runway for tadpoles.

　　Of course, you can also judge the ovulation period by the change of the white belt.

　　4. As a health indicator

　　Leukorrhea is often used by doctors to diagnose diseases of the reproductive tract, which is why women with abnormal leukorrhea are often checked for routine leukorrhea.

　　Normal leukorrhea does not have only one state

　　Generally speaking, many women see information that says there is only one state of leukorrhea when it is healthy - a small amount of leukorrhea that is white, sticky, and odorless.

　　However, this creates a misconception for many women who think they have a problem as long as they are not in one of the states mentioned above.

　　In fact, there is not just one state of leukorrhea.
