Learn about the liquids in a woman’s secret garden

　　From a medical perspective, this stuff originates from the vagina and its Uterus neck, called vaginal secretions, like saliva in the mouth, Eye The tears in the intestines, the gastric juices and intestinal juices in the stomach and intestines, etc., each have their own unique properties and missions, and together they maintain the health of the body. healthy . Let's take a little vaginal secretion and put it under a microscope to see the secrets contained in it.

　　Mysterious love juice

　　A female reader said that she always leaks a lot of liquid from her vagina during sexual intercourse, and sometimes wets the sheet with a piece as big as her fist. She asked what kind of liquid it is, whether it consumes a lot of nutrients, and whether it is harmful to the body.

　　What this female reader is talking about is another kind of vaginal secretion that the author wants to mention. However, this kind of liquid is unusual. It is not secreted normally. It only "shows up" when they are living as a couple and reach a certain level of excitement, so it is called sexual intercourse secretion, commonly known as love fluid.

　　What does love fluid do? First of all, its existence is like adding lubricating oil between the shaft and the sleeve. It plays a lubricating role during the intercourse between the sexes, helping the insertion of the man's penis. It also effectively avoids the discomfort caused by dry friction of the sexual organs between men and women, and avoids "hard friction" to female The pain caused makes sexual activities more harmonious.

　　The second is to protect sperm , on the basis of neutralizing the acidity in the vagina, it can ensure the survival rate of sperm, extend its survival time, and protect pregnancy. It has the same effect as cervical mucus.

　　Again, it can serve as a sexual pleasure monitor, showing how much pleasure a woman feels. The more love juice there is, the higher the level of pleasure.

　　In addition to the amount, the viscosity of love fluid is also a criterion: there is no viscosity at the beginning, and as the sexual excitement and pleasure increase, the viscosity will gradually increase.

　　Since love juice is a response to sexual stimulation, if you want to get more stimulation and fun in your sexual life, be a person who truly understands the art of sexual life. male If so, please pay attention to two strategies:

　　One point is that experiments by sexology experts show that the more time spent on caressing before making love, the more love fluid will be produced. Without the "fueling" of love fluid, it is almost impossible for women to reach orgasm.

　　Another point is that while caressing, speak more tender words, let your eyes and expressions reveal your inner feelings, and let women feel more romantic feelings, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. In a word: sexual foreplay should be sufficient.

　　So, where is the source of love fluid? It was first thought that there are secretory openings in the shape of small folds in the vestibule on both sides of the vaginal opening. When a woman is excited, a type of mucus called Bardolin's gland flows out. Later, American experts Masters and Johnson confirmed that the fluid in the vagina is the result of fluid leakage caused by congestion of blood vessels in the vaginal wall.

　　Subsequently, German doctor Grafenberg discovered a sensitive point on the vaginal wall and named it the G-spot. Stimulating the G-spot can cause a woman's vagina to eject a large amount of love fluid. The process of ejecting love fluid can be understood as the female's vaginal discharge.“ ejaculation ”. Recently, Dr. Oshizuki from Japan believed that love fluid is mucus from the uterus. It is light and transparent, weakly alkaline, has no viscosity, and has a concentration slightly greater than saliva.

　　Although the "life" and function of love fluid need to be further explored, what is certain is that women's secretion of love fluid is just like men's ejaculation. It is a normal physiological phenomenon. The higher the sexual excitement, the greater the secretion, which will not lose much nutrients and is not harmful to the female body.

　　Wonderful cervical mucus

　　Among vaginal secretions, the mucus secreted by the cervix is ​​the most magical and full of changing colors. This change is first reflected in the amount of secretion. A healthy woman of childbearing age produces about 800 to 700 mg per day during the pre-ovulation and ovulation periods, but only 20 to 60 mg per day on other days. The difference is huge.

　　Secondly, it is reflected in the characteristics of mucus, such as water-like and jelly-like changes, changes in the stringiness of mucus threads, differences in viscosity, fern-shaped crystals appearing like a kaleidoscope, etc., and these changes are limited to the short 6 days before and after a woman's ovulation period.

　　Why such a magical change? This is determined by the sacred mission given to women in the process of human evolution. This sacred mission is to give birth to children and continue the human race.

　　We know that the birth of a new life begins with the union of sperm and egg, and the "trek" of sperm from the vagina to the uterus is by no means smooth sailing. Especially after reaching the cervix, whether it can knock on the door of the cervix becomes a key step in whether pregnancy can be successful.

　　It is under this "severe situation" that cervical mucus emerges and becomes the most popular state for sperm: it is watery (moisture content reaches 98%), with minimal viscosity and increased toughness (the mucus threads do not break even when stretched to 12 cm). When viewed under a microscope, fern-like crystals can be seen, arranged into small palm-leaf-like branches. The purpose of this change is to build a "magpie bridge" for the sperm, so that the "Cowherd" sperm can pass smoothly and meet the "Weaver Girl" egg waiting in the uterus as soon as possible.

　　Moreover, sperm can also absorb rich nutrients from cervical mucus, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other ions and a variety of trace minerals, proteins, amino acids and enzymes, etc., making them more energetic and full. Undoubtedly, cervical mucus is also a "gas station" for sperm.

　　But how does the cervix know when sperm is coming, so it can prepare in advance? All of this is secretly arranged by estrogen, the "magician" in the female body. Under the unified command of estrogen, the cervix secretes mucus on demand (the secretion amount is small at ordinary times and increases suddenly during ovulation), and the properties and nutrient concentrations of the mucus are appropriately adjusted, and they change regularly with the menstrual cycle. It has only one purpose, to help sperm and egg combine to promote pregnancy.

　　Having said this, you may have thought of another question: Why do some couples of childbearing age fail to become parents for a long time after marriage?

　　If a woman has ovarian disease (resulting in insufficient estrogen secretion and losing or partially losing the ability to regulate the menstrual cycle), cervical disease, such as inflammation, tumors, etc. (causing the cervix to be unable to secrete mucus, or the mucus secreted cannot change according to the cycle), it will naturally be difficult for sperm to escape, and infertility will become a matter of course. therefore, Infertility When looking for the cause, couples should not forget to check their ovaries and cervix.

　　In addition, the magical changes in cervical mucus are limited to the 6 days before and after ovulation. It can be said that these short 6 days are the golden time for conception. Only by seizing these 6 days for sexual intercourse can couples of childbearing age make their dreams come true. If these 6 days have passed, the cervical mucus will change from watery to jelly-like, making it difficult for even smaller bacteria or viruses to enter the uterus, not to mention sperm. Of course, pregnancy is out of the question.

　　How can we seize the opportunity of 6 days? You might as well use the changing patterns of cervical mucus to determine whether you are ovulating. Observing cervical mucus needs to be done several times a day. Generally, after getting up, before bathing or before urinating, you can use your fingers to dip the mucus from the vaginal opening to observe the appearance and viscosity of the mucus, and then use your fingers to make a drawing reaction.

　　After observing more than 3 menstrual cycles, you can grasp your own cervical mucus secretion patterns and ovulation period. If the vulva feels wet and the sticky mucus tends to become thinner, and the mucus can stretch several centimeters long, it should be considered that it is the ovulation period, indicating that the prime time for couples to have sex has arrived.
