The acidic substances it produces can kill the bacteria that mix in. Experts say that when abnormal symptoms appear in leucorrhea, such as abnormal changes in color, quantity, taste, and quality, it often indicates the possibility of inflammatory infection of the female reproductive tract.

What causes cloudy and itchy leucorrhea? Turbid and itchy leucorrhea is mostly caused by vaginal inflammation.

1. Fungal vaginitis

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common and frequent vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium. 10% to 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women have this fungus parasitic in their vagina, but the amount of bacteria is small and does not cause symptoms. Vaginitis symptoms will only occur when the systemic and local vaginal immunity decreases, especially the local cellular immunity decreases, and Candida albicans multiplies in large numbers.

The typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms vary from mild to severe, and come and go. When the itching is severe, the patient will be restless and unable to sleep or eat. When the inflammation is severe, urination pain and sexual intercourse pain may also occur. Increased vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this disease. The vaginal discharge is usually thick and appears to be dregs or curd-like.

Trichomonas vaginitis is caused by Trichomonas. The Trichomonas that parasitize the human body include Trichomonas vaginalis, Trichomonas humanis and Trichomonas oralis, which parasitize the urogenital system, intestines and oral cavity respectively. The one related to skin disease is Trichomonas vaginalis, which causes Trichomonas vaginitis. It is a parasitic disease that is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse and is contagious.

Most cases are asymptomatic. Women may feel uncomfortable for a week or several months, and then improve significantly due to menstruation or pregnancy. The vaginal mucosa is inflamed, bright red, covered with patchy pseudomembranes, often accompanied by foamy secretions, and they feel itching to varying degrees, and a few have a burning sensation. Leucorrhea increases and turns yellow-green. Frequent urination, urgency, pain, hematuria, abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucous stools, alveolar pus discharge, and tooth decay may occasionally occur. It often causes urethritis and can lead to cystitis and Bartholin's glanditis.
