Why is premenstrual leucorrhea abnormal?

Abnormal premenstrual leucorrhea may be related to factors such as hormone fluctuations, infection, and lifestyle habits, and targeted measures need to be taken based on the specific causes.

1. Hormone Fluctuations

During the menstrual cycle, changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can affect the amount and texture of vaginal discharge. Elevated estrogen levels before menstruation may cause more vaginal discharge, which may be thin or transparent. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and usually does not require special treatment. However, if it is accompanied by odor, itching or abnormal color, you should be alert to other problems.

2. Infection factors

Abnormal vaginal discharge may be caused by infections such as bacterial vaginitis, candidal vaginitis or trichomonas vaginitis. The immune system decreases before menstruation, which can easily induce or aggravate infection. Symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, yellow or green color, odor, vulvar itching, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time. The doctor may prescribe drugs such as metronidazole, clotrimazole or fluconazole for treatment.

3. Influence of lifestyle habits

Bad living habits such as sitting for long periods of time, wearing tight pants, and using irritating washes may disrupt the balance of vaginal microecology and lead to abnormal vaginal discharge. It is recommended to choose cotton underwear, avoid excessive cleaning, and keep the vulva dry and breathable.

4. Diet and Mood

A high-sugar diet may increase the risk of fungal infection, and mood swings may also affect hormone secretion, indirectly leading to abnormal vaginal discharge. It is recommended to reduce the intake of sweets, keep a stable mood, and appropriately supplement probiotics, such as yogurt or professional probiotic supplements.

5. Medical advice

If abnormal vaginal discharge is accompanied by severe discomfort or recurring symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. The doctor may determine the cause through routine vaginal discharge examination, colposcopy, etc., and formulate a treatment plan based on the results.

Abnormal premenstrual leucorrhea is a common phenomenon, but whether it is a pathological condition needs to be determined based on the specific situation. Symptoms can be effectively improved by adjusting lifestyle habits and dietary structure, and taking medication when necessary. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delaying the condition.
