Increased thick white milky vaginal discharge is normal at some time during the menstrual cycle due to increased cervical secretions.
The vagina is the passage that connects the internal reproductive organs with external female anatomy or the Vulva. The glands of the vagina and cervix secrete amounts of fluid to cleanse out the vagina of any pathogenic organism. Some of this fluid may leak out and cause a normal thick white milky vaginal discharge.
At around the time of ovulation, the level of oestrogen in the body increases, stimulating the glands of the cervix. These secrete large amounts of clear, watery fluid. The main function of this cervical discharge is to help any sperm deposited in the vagina to swim up through the uterus. This secretion is usually copius, thin and watery, clear with occasional specks of white. and quite stretchable.
Since, ovulation occurs about 14 days after your last menstrual period, you will notice that your secretions also increases at around this time.
Just before the menses / periods : You will sometimes notice that your vaginal discharge increases a day or two before your period begins. The discharge becomes gradually brownish or reddish as the bleeding starts. The day the vaginal discharge becomes brownish is counted as the first day of your period.
Excessive thick white milky vaginal discharge may be seen in young girls at and around the time of puberty. This is because of the increasing levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone at this time. It usually decreases spontaneously as the menstrual cycle becomes established.
Most women are unaware of the causes of normal vaginal discharge and may get unduly distressed.Consult your doctor if the thick white milky vaginal discharge persists for too long.
