What is the cause of increased vaginal discharge?

Leucorrhea is a fluid secreted from the female vagina. The condition of leucorrhea can be used to understand whether a woman has gynecological problems. Normal leucorrhea is relatively clean in color, clear and has no odor. If the leucorrhea is dark in color, such as yellow or brown, has a strong odor, and flows out frequently, it is usually caused by gynecological inflammation in the body. You must take it seriously and go to the hospital for diagnosis.

Leucorrhea usually appears after female puberty. As the ovarian function improves, a milky white or transparent liquid will flow out of the vagina. The amount is sometimes more, sometimes less, and it has its regularity. It has the function of keeping the vaginal mucosa moist. It is normal for the vagina to secrete leucorrhea for a few days before each menstrual period. To evaluate whether leucorrhea is normal, it is necessary to observe the quantity, color, texture and smell. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell.

However, if a woman suddenly has an increase in vaginal discharge and it happens every day, it is usually caused by the following reasons: 1. Pathogen infection; 2. Chronic cervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal glands; 3. Candida albicans infection; 4. Vaginitis. If the vaginal discharge is like tofu dregs, it is usually vaginitis. Leucorrhea, like menstruation, is a normal physiological manifestation of women. Some people regard leucorrhea as an obscene thing that should not be seen in public, and some married women regard normal leucorrhea as a disease and feel anxious and confused. These are all unnecessary.

To sum up the above, we can know that leucorrhea can directly reflect women's physical condition. It is best to go to the hospital once or twice a year to do a routine leucorrhea check so that you can know your gynecological condition. If you have gynecological inflammation, you can receive treatment early and recover soon.
