What's going on when I feel itchy and have tofu residue down there?

Leucorrhea and menstruation will accompany women for a long time in their lives. The condition of menstruation and leucorrhea is also the main basis for women to self-examine whether they have gynecological diseases. So, female friends, don’t ignore them. So, what is going on with the itchy feeling down there and the tofu-like substance flowing out of the vagina? Now, I will explain it to you, hoping it will be helpful to you.

Normal vaginal discharge in women is white, pasty and has no odor. If it is close to ovulation, the leucorrhea is often clear and transparent, like egg white, and the amount is relatively large. After ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes white, turbid, viscous and less in quantity. Abnormal leucorrhea indicates the presence of disease. If you feel itchy down there and there is yellow discharge from your vagina in the shape of tofu dregs, women with the above symptoms are likely to have candidal vaginitis.

Vaginal candidiasis is a type of vaginitis caused by Candida albicans. It is easy for the body to develop when the body's resistance is reduced, or when the person suffers from a serious illness, has a vitamin B complex deficiency, or uses immunosuppressants for a long time. It is easily cured as long as the symptoms are treated.

Fungal vaginitis is caused by infection with the pathogen Candida albicans, and often occurs in women who use hormones and antibiotics for a long time, diabetic patients and pregnant women. The main routes of infection are sexual intercourse, baths, bath towels, etc. The main manifestations are tofu-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

For candidal vaginitis, use alkaline solutions such as 2-4% sodium bicarbonate or soapy water to rinse the vulva and vagina to change the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina, making it unfavorable for fungal growth. After rinsing, insert nystatin tablets or suppositories into the vagina, 100,000-200,000 units each time, once a night, for 10-14 days as a course of treatment. Apply 3% clotrimazole ointment to the vulva for better results. For stubborn cases, take fluconazole orally, 150 mg each time, once a day, for three consecutive days. During treatment, prohibit sexual intercourse, change underwear every day, wash and boil for disinfection. Clothes that are taken off must be boiled and disinfected to avoid cross infection in public places.

Active treatment should be sought after illness, and the disease should be treated together with the couple so that it can be cured and will not recur. During the illness, do not have sex, do not eat sweets, wear breathable cotton underwear, change and wash it frequently, do not stay up late, and pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals. When cleaning the genitals, be sure to use warm water. If the leucorrhea is normal for three consecutive times after treatment, it means that the patient has recovered.
