Will there be more vaginal discharge after my period ends?

Leucorrhea is mainly composed of cervical mucosal secretions, vaginal wall cell shedding, bacteria, etc., which can play a role in lubricating and protecting the vagina. Leucorrhea usually increases after menstruation, mainly due to the shedding of the endometrium during menstruation. After menstruation, hormone levels gradually increase, which helps the endometrium repair, cervical mucosal secretions increase, and vaginal wall cells will also produce more shedding during metabolism. These substances usually flow out together with the leucorrhea, resulting in a significant increase in leucorrhea. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special intervention.
