What causes white discharge inside a woman's vagina?

Some women experience a white vagina, which may sometimes be accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, itching and pain in the vulva. What causes this? Due to the influence of many factors, it has also caused great distress to female friends, especially mental pressure. When many women encounter this situation, they will worry about whether they have a serious illness. Let me tell you why.

The real cause of vaginal whitening is still unclear, but common causes include vulvar eczema, psoriasis and local neurovascular nutritional disorders. Clinically, the causes of the disease are divided into the following types:

1. Lichen sclerosus dystrophy: It can occur at any age, including girls under 10 years old, but is more common in women around 40 years old. The main symptom is itching in the affected area, but it is generally much milder than in proliferative lesions, and sexual intercourse becomes difficult in the late stage.

2. Hyperplastic malnutrition: generally occurs in women aged 30 to 60. The main symptoms are unbearable itching of the vulva, accompanied by local pain after scratching. The range of the lesions varies, mainly affecting the labia majora, interlabial groove, clitoral hood and posterior symphysis, and is often symmetrical.

3. Hyperplastic or mixed type with epithelial atypical hyperplasia: It is generally believed that in hyperplastic and mixed lesions, atypical hyperplasia may occur in only 5 or 10% of cases, and this atypical hyperplasia is limited to the hyperplastic epithelial cell part. Atypical hyperplasia often has no special clinical manifestations, and local tissue biopsy is the only diagnostic method.

This disease may cause difficulties in sexual life in the later stage and may also turn into cancer, so it is worthy of our attention. Patients should achieve early detection and early treatment so that they can receive effective treatment in the early stages of the disease.

Since the main symptoms of this disease are unbearable itching of the vulva accompanied by local pain after scratching, female friends should pay special attention to it. When this situation is discovered, the best solution is to seek medical attention in a timely manner and combine relevant examinations for further diagnosis and treatment. It must be clear that there is a reason for the occurrence of any disease.
