What is the reason for the brownish leucorrhea?

As a female friend, you should all know that the leucorrhea that accompanies us every moment should be colorless, odorless and transparent. However, some female friends find that their leucorrhea does not seem to be colorless and transparent like normal leucorrhea, but is brown and tofu dregs-like. What's going on? In fact, if the leucorrhea is brown and tofu dregs-like, it means that the female friend's body must have inflammation. So what is going on? Let me introduce it to you below.

Normal leucorrhea is white, paste-like or egg white-like, highly viscous, without any fishy smell, and in small amount. If the leucorrhea is brown and has a tofu-like texture, it is usually caused by gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis. You need to check the leucorrhea. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department to check the leucorrhea routine, identify the pathogenic bacteria, and then use medication for treatment.

The pathogens include bacteria, fungi, and trichomonas, and the treatment drugs are different. Only by checking the routine leucorrhea can we know which pathogen it is, and then choose the corresponding drug treatment. The possible diseases are as follows.

【Vaginal candidiasis】

The most likely cause of leucorrhea that is in the form of tofu-dregs is candidal vaginitis. Leucorrhea that is in the form of tofu-dregs is a typical feature of candidal vaginitis, which is often caused by infection with Candida albicans and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi.

The most common symptoms of candidal vaginitis are vulvar itching and a significant increase in leucorrhea. This disease is caused by Candida albicans, a fungus that exists on the human body surface and in body cavities, such as the mouth, rectum, and vagina. Under normal circumstances, even if this fungus exists in the vagina, it will not cause disease. It will only cause disease when it multiplies in large numbers. When the disease occurs, symptoms include itching of the vulva, burning sensation in the vagina, and leucorrhea that resembles tofu dregs.

If treatment is not timely, serious sequelae may occur, such as gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Many middle-aged women who get cancer do so because they did not pay attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young.
