If the amount of discharge decreases, it may be related to physical health conditions, such as hormonal level changes, dehydration, or malnutrition. Below are some dietary recommendations to help address this: 1. Increase fluid intake: Maintaining adequate hydration helps balance body fluids and promotes the production of bodily secretions, including vaginal discharge. 2. Foods rich in vitamin B: Vitamin B helps increase estrogen levels in the body. Include more vitamin B-rich foods such as whole grains, lean meats, eggs, milk, legumes, and nuts in your diet. 3. Foods rich in zinc: Zinc is crucial for reproductive system health. You can supplement zinc by consuming beef, oysters, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. 4. Antioxidant-rich foods: Antioxidants found in fresh fruits and vegetables help maintain overall health and indirectly support normal secretion of bodily fluids. 5. Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure sufficient intake of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to provide the body with essential nutrients required for normal physiological functions. If decreased discharge is accompanied by other symptoms (such as itching, unusual odor, or abnormal color), seek medical attention promptly.
