What is ovulation, and what excretions at this time should be noted in the norm?
In each menstrual cycle in women of childbearing age, the follicle grows and grows. It is in him that the germ cell ripens, which subsequently enters the abdominal cavity. This is the moment and was called ovulation.
In case the egg does not meet the sperm, then after 24-48 hours a destructive process begins, the end of which is the rejection of the endometrium in the uterus and its isolation from the blood outside - monthly.
It is from this time that a new cycle begins. Discharge after menstruation is normal. Gynecologists often call this period "dry days". As you approach the day of release of the egg from the follicle, their volume and consistency change. Isolation, like egg white, is the norm, and when they appear, it means that ovulation will soon occur.
During this period, there is an increase in the concentration of sex hormones, which, in fact, cause the production of mucus cervical channel. Thus, the body creates the most favorable conditions for conception. In such an environment, sperm that spilled into the reproductive organs during sexual intercourse can retain their mobility for 3-5 days.
Isolations in the form of egg white can be observed as a few days before ovulation, and 2-3 days after it. At the end of this process, mucus begins to thicken, the volume of secretions decreases.
What can the allocation, like egg white, indicate during the current pregnancy?
Normally, there should be no allocation at this time. Only at the beginning of pregnancy can a woman notice ungrowing viscous discharge. Their appearance is associated with a change in the hormonal background. The concentration of estrogen decreases, and progesterone increases. As a result, the mucus produced by the cervix becomes thicker, sticks to the lump and forms a so-called stopper.
It is this education that protects the reproductive system and the fetus from the effects of pathogenic microorganisms throughout the gestational period. It is maintained throughout the entire pregnancy, and its departure indicates the early onset of labor.
