Mucus can have a different consistency depending on the situation (density/color changes occur, for example, when inflammation or infection occurs, but also during sexual arousal). In general, one of the mechanisms of action of hormonal contraception is the thickening of mucus in the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to move. A precise assessment of your health condition can be carried out by a gynaecologist during the examination, so I encourage you to seek medical advice if you observe any other symptoms such as itching, swelling or unpleasant smell.
On our website, it is possible to take advantage of a teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available in the e-visit tab:
