Why is the leucorrhea in the shape of tofu dregs?

Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common problem among women. There are many types of lesions that may occur, among which leucorrhea in the shape of tofu dregs is a relatively common condition, indicating that a certain disease has occurred in women. At this time, it is necessary to find the specific cause and take effective measures to treat it. So, what does it mean when leucorrhea appears in the shape of tofu dregs? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

The leucorrhea is bean curd-like and floc-like, with obvious symptoms of increase, and is often accompanied by vaginal itching. This type of leucorrhea is mostly caused by vaginal fungal infection or diabetes. Doctors point out that tofu-like leucorrhea is unique to candidal vaginitis. The vulva and vaginal walls are often covered with a layer of white film-like substance. After wiping it off, the red and swollen mucosal surface is exposed, which is easily infected by fungi and is often accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain. Especially people with diabetes or pregnant women should think about this, because pregnant women and people with diabetes have poor physical constitution, lower resistance to pathogens, and are more likely to cause fungal infections. Therefore, pregnant women and people with diabetes should pay more attention.

It is very likely that the leucorrhea is in the shape of tofu dregs due to gynecological inflammation. For example, trichomoniasis vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, cervical erosion and other gynecological inflammations can cause abnormal leucorrhea. Therefore, when women find that their leucorrhea is abnormal, they should not think that it is okay. They should find out the cause of the abnormal leucorrhea to avoid delaying the best time for the treatment of gynecological inflammation and aggravating the condition. Bacterial vaginitis is a common gynecological disease caused by fungal infection. The clinical manifestations are increased vaginal discharge accompanied by vulvar itching and vaginal burning sensation. The vaginal discharge of patients with bacterial vaginitis is typically in the shape of tofu dregs.

The above is an introduction to what causes leucorrhea to be in the form of tofu dregs. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many gynecological diseases that cause leucorrhea to appear like tofu dregs. Vaginitis, chronic cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc. are typical situations. It is best to go to a regular hospital for systematic testing and then take effective measures for treatment so that the disease can be cured as soon as possible.
