In the southern region, as the seasons change, not only is the weather sultry, but annoying gynecological issues can also easily arise.
Although many women are very afraid of gynecological examinations, when discomfort occurs, such checks cannot be avoided. This is because the female physiological structure makes us more susceptible to inflammation.
Due to the proximity of the female vulva to the urethra (they are not the same canal), and the local humidity, inflammation is a common issue that almost every woman faces.
This condition does not discriminate by age; it can affect anyone from elderly individuals in their 80s and 90s to young children.
Moreover, young and middle-aged women, who have more active sex lives, are at higher risk for inflammation!
What are the symptoms of inflammation?
When there are actual gynecological problems, it is often first evident on underwear. The secretions on the underwear can reflect reproductive health status, and we have simulated normal and abnormal secretions for comparison.
Feel free to look at the images below; they are not made with anything real (you can leave a message to guess what we used for simulation).

This type of discharge is common shortly after menstruation, it is not abundant, typically doesn’t leave marks on the underwear, has no odor, and does not feel sticky; it is what most people recognize as normal discharge.
The following situations are easily misunderstood.
This type of discharge is common during ovulation, generally clear and can be “stretched” like egg whites. It may appear slightly yellowish or whitish, which is normal.
Because the quantity is a bit more and slightly sticky, many may think it’s abnormal. In fact, this is the most typical discharge during ovulation.
Occasionally, a little blood may be present during this phase. If there are no symptoms of itching or pain, no treatment is necessary; normal cleansing is sufficient.
As menstruation approaches, a discharge that has a mildly acidic or sweat-like odor often appears. The amount is slightly less than during ovulation, but it is thicker, feeling somewhat “concentrated”.
When observed, it may appear white or light yellow, and upon closer inspection, it may have an acidic or sweat odor, but there is a clear distinction from the foul smell associated with inflammation.
