Why does the vagina get wet ?

Hor/mon/es among Other things

Explanation:

Aro. usal; As you become arou. sed, blood flow to your geni. tals increases, which triggers the release of fluid from the cer. vix and the Bar tholin’s glands, which provides lubr. ication during sex. ual activity. Often, the more arou. sed you’re feeling, the more va. ginal lub. rication your body will produce. Horm ones and age; Horm. ones play a big role in va. ginal wet. ness. Higher estro. gen levels lead to increased va. ginal we. tness, but as your body starts to produce less estr. ogen during meno. pause and afterwards, your body may not produce as much va. g inal fluid, making your va gina drier. Meanwhile, as you move through your men. strual cycle and ovul. ation approaches, your cer. vix produces more va. ginal fluid, which plays an important role in helping sp. erm travel to an egg during the process of fer. tilization. Infection; Sometimes you will feel more we. t than usual if you have an infection such as bacterial va. ginosis. The va. ginal fluid helps to remove bacteria from the va. ginal canal. Infections may also lead you to produce other types of va. ginal dis. charge, which will vary in appearance depending on the type of infection. But if you notice any disch. arge that’s an abnormal color or smell, you’ll want to get in touch with your physician. Medication; Horm. onal birth control can alter your va. ginal fluid production, leaving you more w.et or dry than you’re used to when not taking the medication.
