Vaginal MucusVaginal mucus is a natural substance occurring within the vagina, particularly the cervix, that maintains a certain level of moisture at all times. The consistency of vaginal mucus changes according to the period of the menstrual cycle. Both the chemical make-up and the physical consistency (viscosity) change during this time. Excessive, or oddly coloured, mucus may indicate various infections of the vagina, or pregnancy. As a sexual response During sexual stimulation the blood vessels fill inducing vasocongestion, as a result more fluids are introduced (largely sweat) to the genitals creating a higher level of moisture. This makes penetration of the vagina easier, hence it serves as natural lubrication.
