Excessive vaginal discharge may be related to ovulation, pregnancy, sexual stimulation, endocrine disorders, cervicitis, and other factors. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a正规 hospital and follow medical advice for improvement through general management, medication, or other treatments. Specific causes are analyzed as follows:

1. Ovulation: During the ovulatory phase, elevated estrogen levels stimulate cervical glands to secrete more mucus, leading to increased vaginal discharge. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and typically does not require special treatment.

2. Pregnancy: During pregnancy, hormonal changes can increase secretions from the vagina and cervix, resulting in increased discharge. Usually, no specific treatment is needed—maintaining hygiene by regular bathing and changing underwear is sufficient.

3. Sexual stimulation: During intercourse, sexual arousal can increase vaginal secretions. This is a normal response; however, maintaining proper hygiene before and after sex is important to prevent infections.

4. Endocrine disorders: These are often associated with immune system imbalances, chronic sleep deprivation, and other factors. Abnormal estrogen levels due to endocrine disruption may lead to the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, Wuji Baifeng Pills, or Yimucao Granules to alleviate symptoms.

5. Cervicitis: Cervicitis refers to inflammation of the cervix, usually caused by pathogenic infections. Inflammation may lead to increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and other symptoms. It is recommended to follow medical guidance and use medications such as Azithromycin Capsules, Jingangteng Capsules, or Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules to manage symptoms.

During treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid greasy or spicy foods such as fried chicken and spicy hot pot.
