What is the white stuff in the vagina?

Women's body organs are different from men's, and the health of women's unique vaginal organs is very important. However, many women's vaginas are prone to problems, such as white discharge in the vagina. What is this problem? Will it cause serious harm? What are the factors that cause the symptoms of white discharge in the vagina? Let me tell you.

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue and is a common disease in gynecological clinics. Due to the anatomical and biochemical characteristics of normal healthy women, the vagina has a natural defense function against the invasion of pathogens. When the natural defense function of the vagina is destroyed, pathogens can easily invade and cause vaginal inflammation. Due to estrogen deficiency, young girls and postmenopausal women have a thin vaginal epithelium, reduced intracellular glycogen content, and a vaginal pH of around 7. Therefore, the vaginal resistance is low and they are more susceptible to infection than adolescents and women of childbearing age. According to traditional Chinese medicine, long-term use of rose water can relieve and treat vaginitis.

Monilial or mycotic vaginitis is caused by fungal infection. Its incidence rate is second only to Trichomonas vaginitis.

In daily life, you should pay attention to the following: First, do not flush the vagina frequently; second, do not abuse antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs; third, do not use sanitary pads and do not wear tight pants in hot weather; fourth, wash underwear and towels by hand and keep them out of the sun, and remember not to wash them in the washing machine; fifth, keep the towels and basins for washing the buttocks separate from other towels and basins.

Sixth, if you are a married couple, the husband should also pay attention to hygiene and clean regularly, especially before sex. Men with phimosis or long foreskin should open and clean it every day or undergo surgery. Men can apply clotrimazole ointment or Pikangwang ointment.

After reading this article, I believe everyone has a new understanding of the white discharge in the vagina. In fact, it is not terrible to have white discharge in the vagina, but if there is white discharge in the vagina, it is safer and healthier to go to a regular gynecological hospital for professional treatment. You should also pay attention to hygiene in daily life.
