Duration of the outflow | Outflow from the vagina

Duration of the outflow

The duration of the outflow depends on the cause of the increased or changed secretion production. Within the framework of natural hormonal influences, the altered discharge usually lasts only a few days, depending on how long the individual monthly cycle is. Symptoms caused by an infection often last as long as the fungus or bacterial pathogen can act.

It is therefore advisable to take medication as soon as possible to prevent subsequent complications, such as infertility caused by a chlamydial infection. The duration of the outflow caused by tumour diseases is very variable. The production of secretions can return to normal, but this does not make the underlying disease any less dangerous. Therefore, a medical clarification and treatment is highly recommended.
