emätineste

Emätineste, also known as vaginal discharge, is a natural bodily fluid produced by glands within the vagina and cervix. Its primary function is to cleanse, lubricate, and protect the vaginal canal from infection. The composition and appearance of emätineste can vary significantly throughout a person's menstrual cycle, due to hormonal fluctuations.

Typically, emätineste is clear to whitish in color and has a mild odor, or sometimes no odor at all. The amount produced can range from minimal to several milliliters per day. Before ovulation, the discharge may become thinner, clearer, and more abundant, resembling raw egg whites, which facilitates sperm transport. After ovulation and leading up to menstruation, it may become thicker, more opaque, and potentially have a stronger odor.

Changes in the color, consistency, odor, or amount of emätineste can sometimes indicate an underlying health issue, such as a vaginal infection (like bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection) or a sexually transmitted infection. If significant changes or accompanying symptoms like itching, burning, or pain are experienced, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. Emätineste plays a vital role in maintaining vaginal health and is a normal physiological process.
