Vaginal discharge is the secretion of the female genital organs. They consist of epithelial cells and mucus secreted by the glands of the cervix. Allocations are necessary for moistening the walls of the vagina and protecting the internal genital organs from infection.
What discharge is before ovulation?
Allocations before ovulation become more abundant, slippery and transparent. This makes the environment in the vagina favorable for the penetration of sperm and fertilization of the egg, preparing to exit.
Allocations just before ovulation and during the ovulation period are similar to the protein of a raw egg. These mucus secretions are quite noticeable and differ significantly from those that occur on other days.
Nodular mucus does not have an infectious nature and disappears within 1-2 days. On separable it is possible to define a period favorable for conception. When the extension of the mucus reaches its maximum value of 12 cm, this means the onset of ovulation and in gynecology is called the "pupil symptom".
If the emissions have a different character
White discharge before ovulation, provided that the ovulation day is calculated correctly, is not the norm. White discharge, a little creamy consistency can appear after unprotected sexual intercourse, when sperm leaves the vagina. In other cases, white cheesy-colored excretions speak about this or that disease of genital organs - thrush, gardnerellez and others.
Especially it is necessary to pay attention, if bloody discharge appears before ovulation. Spotting bleeding can talk about various pathological processes in the uterus - endometriosis, polyps, chronic endometritis, chronic endocervicitis, cervical erosion. All these states require urgent assistance from specialists.
