Why does the transparent vaginal discharge increase?

In today's open society, with the popularization of scientific knowledge and developed medicine, I think most women are familiar with leucorrhea, and they all know that the amount and color of leucorrhea can well reflect their physical condition. In fact, most women have excessive leucorrhea, so what is the reason for the increase in leucorrhea? Normal leucorrhea should be milky white, or colorless and transparent, with a moderate amount and no odor. Some girls are in puberty, so the amount of leucorrhea at this time may be slightly different from the normal value, that is, sometimes it increases and sometimes decreases. But if it is not the increase of leucorrhea during puberty, then why is it so?

What's the matter with excessive vaginal discharge? If there is excessive vaginal discharge, female friends should consider the possibility of cervical erosion. The clinical manifestation of cervical erosion is yellow leucorrhea. Cervical erosion often occurs due to childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operation or mechanical stimulation such as sexual intercourse that damages the cervix and causes infection due to the invasion of pathogens. The cause of excessive leucorrhea cannot be simply considered as vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc. can all cause excessive leucorrhea. However, from the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis are more common clinically.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, excessive vaginal discharge can be divided into two aspects: external causes and internal causes.

The external causes of excessive leucorrhea are closer to what Western medicine calls infection, such as vaginal Trichomonas infection, which is mostly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Patients often complain of a large amount of yellow-green or gray foamy and foul-smelling secretions. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies this type of leucorrhea as "damp-heat in the liver meridian". In clinical practice, in addition to Western medicine prescriptions, Chinese medicine such as Longdan Xiegan Decoction can also be considered.

The internal causes of excessive leucorrhea include poor function of certain organs in the body, which lead to leucorrhea diseases. The most common one is leucorrhea due to "spleen deficiency". Such patients may have weak "spleen and stomach" (spleen in traditional Chinese medicine, not spleen in Western medicine), and are prone to diarrhea and poor digestive function. If they eat more raw and cold foods or take medicines, such as white radish, watermelon, grapefruit, etc., a lot of transparent, watery leucorrhea will involuntarily flow out of the vagina. Clinically, Chinese medicine such as Wandai Decoction can be used to add or subtract other ingredients for treatment.

Do the majority of female friends now have a clear understanding of the increase in transparent leucorrhea? In fact, normal leucorrhea is good for women's health because it can help us clean the dirt in the body. However, when the amount of leucorrhea suddenly increases abnormally, you should be careful, as it may be the body sending out an alarm, which may lead to the occurrence of certain gynecological diseases.
