Why is a woman's vagina wet all day long?

She is a white-collar worker and recently has a problem that bothers her: her panties are always wet. What's going on? Is she the one who is in a trance all day? ! The editor answers for you:

Q: Where did it come from?

Some of it is secreted by the cervical glands, some comes from the vaginal wall, and a small part is secreted by the endometrial glands and the large glands on both sides of the vaginal opening.

Q: What on earth are these things?

There are some epithelial cells that have fallen off the vaginal mucosa, secretions from the sebaceous glands of the labia minora, a large number of vaginal bacilli (scientific name: Gram-positive lactobacilli), and a small number of white blood cells... there are probably more than twenty kinds of microorganisms.

Q “Some people say it’s sweet! Is that true?”

Let me correct you, not everything with "sugar" in it is sweet. The correct statement is that epithelial cells contain "glycogen", which is converted into lactic acid after being acted upon by vaginal lactobacilli, making the vaginal fluid acidic and maintaining the pH value between 3.8 and 4.5.

Q: “I don’t like the look of this thing, and I don’t like the smell of it. Can I get rid of it?”

No, because every woman needs it. The acidic environment in the vaginal cavity can prevent foreign pathogens from surviving and multiplying. This is the “vaginal self-cleaning function” that you may have heard so many times that your ears are callused but you may not truly understand it.

Q: “But what if he doesn’t like it?”

Let him read this article carefully. Why are men so stupid? This is the most natural and normal physiological reaction, just like men also have all kinds of strange physiological phenomena. Who knows how many bacteria are hidden in his "thing"! It's just that there are no obvious symptoms. Don't think that you are healthy if you don't feel any pain or itching.

Q “I heard it has something to do with estrogen, is that true?”

yes. If the amount of estrogen in the body increases, secretions will also increase. These increased vaginal discharges are what most women hate to hear about: “leucorrhea.”

Q: “I noticed that the discharge seems to be particularly heavy during the middle of my menstrual cycle. Is it because I am about to ovulate?”

That's right. During the ovulation period, the cervical endometrial glandular cells secrete vigorously. The secretions are very similar to thin, transparent egg white. They can even be stretched for several centimeters without breaking, and are very elastic. This situation will no longer be seen after ovulation. About 2 days before your period, your pelvic cavity starts to become congested and vaginal secretions increase again, sometimes with a little blood in them, as if to remind you that it's time to prepare sanitary napkins.

Q: "Besides menstruation, what other factors can affect it?"

There are so many reasons that you may not even imagine, such as birth control pills, antibiotics, allergies, illness, pregnancy, childbirth, menstrual products, lack of sleep, unbalanced nutrition, mood swings and even stress!
