Did you know your vaginal health changes throughout your cycle? During your menstrual phase, lower estrogen levels can lead to dryness and increased sensitivity, while period blood may alter your vaginal pH. In the follicular phase, rising estrogen boosts natural lubrication and discharge, helping maintain a balanced pH. Around ovulation, cervical mucus increases, becoming thicker and more noticeable. As progesterone rises in the luteal phase, you may experience increased dryness, irritation, or odor shifts due to hormonal changes. Understanding these fluctuations can help you choose the right care for every phase.
