What is the cause of vaginal itching and leucorrhea?

Leucorrhea is a normal vaginal secretion. If the amount of secretion increases significantly, it will cause a series of symptoms and have a significant impact on women's health. Increased vaginal discharge is only a gynecological symptom, and most of the time it is accompanied by vulvar itching. It may cause many diseases and must be judged specifically. So, what is the cause of excessive vaginal discharge and vulvar itching? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

A preliminary analysis can be made based on the color, quality, quantity, odor and symptoms of leucorrhea. Common diseases include:

Pathogen infection causes excessive leucorrhea. Using contaminated sanitary products can allow pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening, causing infection and excessive vaginal discharge. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing excessive vaginal discharge.

Trichomonas vaginalis infection causes excessive vaginal discharge. This infection can easily cause excessive vaginal discharge with a foul odor and vaginal itching. If you find stains on your underwear or yellow with light green color, foam, strange smell, burning sensation in the vagina, and itching of the vulva, it means that the vagina is sending out an alarm - Trichomonas is "harassing" it.

Cervical disease causes excessive vaginal discharge. The trauma of childbirth, changes in sex hormones, or inflammation of the cervix caused by sexual intercourse may lead to cervical erosion and excessive vaginal discharge. A small number of women may experience cervical erosion without any cause, which is called "congenital cervical erosion", which can also cause excessive vaginal discharge. Chronic cervicitis can also cause excessive vaginal discharge. In this case, the vaginal discharge is milky white mucous or light yellow purulent, occasionally mixed with a small amount of blood. It can also cause pain in the lumbar and sacral area, and pain in the pelvic area, which can cause infertility.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease causes excessive vaginal discharge. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause excessive vaginal discharge. Its symptoms are excessive vaginal discharge, increased menstruation or menstrual disorders, lower abdominal distension and pain, and lumbar and sacral pain, which are often aggravated after fatigue, sexual intercourse, and before and after menstruation. Sometimes there is low fever, fatigue or lack of energy, general discomfort, and insomnia.

Filterable viral infection causes excessive vaginal discharge. The virus infects the cervix, vagina, and vulva. For example, filterable viruses that cause colds and filterable diseases such as genital warts often cause excessive vaginal discharge.

Candida albicans infection causes excessive vaginal discharge. Candida albicans, also known as mold, is a saprophytic parasite that usually lives in the human skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract and other organs. When the body's resistance is reduced, Candida albicans will multiply, and when it reaches a certain amount, the human body will become ill.

Atrophic vaginitis causes excessive vaginal discharge. A small number of women have lost both ovaries due to illness or have early menopause or are post-menopausal. Due to the gradual lack of estrogen in the body, the vaginal wall gradually becomes fragile and susceptible to bacterial infection and inflammation, leading to excessive vaginal discharge.

Foreign matter enters the body causing excessive vaginal discharge. If a foreign object enters the reproductive organs, or if there is gauze, tampons, menstrual plugs, etc. in the vagina, it can also cause excessive vaginal discharge.

Uterine diseases cause excessive vaginal discharge. Uterine fibroids cause excessive vaginal discharge, back pain, lower abdominal distension, abdominal pain, shortened menstrual cycle, heavy menstrual flow, and prolonged menstruation. Irregular vaginal bleeding; abdominal distension, a lump felt in the lower abdomen, or frequent urination, constipation, difficulty in defecation, and infertility. There is too much leucorrhea and lumps come out of the vaginal opening. The lumps may become smaller or disappear after lying down to rest. In severe cases, the lumps cannot shrink even after rest, accompanied by lumbar pain and a feeling of falling in the lumbar region.

The above is an introduction to what causes excessive leucorrhea and vulvar itching. Female friends should be clear about it. There are many diseases that cause increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching, mainly various gynecological diseases. If these gynecological inflammations are not treated in time, other inflammations are likely to occur. Women are advised to pay attention to it and go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
