Why does leucorrhea have a tofu-like and odorless appearance? Tofu-like leucorrhea refers to the discharge that looks like tofu dregs, which is white and lumpy. Because most leucorrhea is sticky and yellow, it is easy to distinguish. Tofu-like leucorrhea is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, but it is generally not easy to flow out and most of it remains in the vagina.

Tofu-like leucorrhea is a typical fungal infection. Vaginal candidiasis is a common vaginal inflammation in gynecology, which is classified as "vaginal itch" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is prone to relapse. The causes of candidal vaginitis are increased glycogen in the vagina, increased acidity, and massive reproduction of Candida albicans among the fungi. Once discovered, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and take a sample of leucorrhea for testing to eliminate the cause. You can take 500,000 units of nystatin tablets orally three times a day, for a course of 7 days. Candidal vaginitis needs to be treated by both husband and wife, and gay men are advised to pay attention to this.

The preventive measures are as follows:

1. Do not over-clean the vagina

Under normal circumstances, our vagina will maintain the balance of acidity and alkalinity by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergents or disinfectants, or even scrub it excessively. This may not only disrupt the balance of the vaginal environment, but may also cause vaginal damage. So usually just rinse it with warm water.

2. Wear breathable cotton pants

Try to wear ventilated cotton underwear and underwear to keep dry. If you don’t have much secretion, try not to use sanitary pads. If you do use them, be sure to change them frequently to avoid bacterial growth.

3. Normal and simple sex life

Many vaginal diseases are transmitted through sexual intercourse. If you have too many sexual partners, it is difficult to control whether you are infected. Therefore, as long as your sexual life is simple, the chance of contracting specific vaginal (diseases) will be greatly reduced.

4. Do not abuse antibiotics

The use of antibiotics must be approved and prescribed by a doctor, because although antibiotics can kill bacteria, they will promote the growth of mold, so never abuse antibiotics.

The above is the introduction about why leucorrhea is odorless and has a tofu-like texture. It turns out that the odorless and curd-like vaginal discharge is caused by candidal vaginitis. Although this type of vaginitis is easy to treat, it is very easy to relapse. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who have odorless and curd-like vaginal discharge must seek timely treatment, so as to completely cure candidal vaginitis and reduce the chance of recurrence.
