What is the white stuff in the vagina?

The normal secretions from a woman's vagina should be leucorrhea, but this is not the case for some women. White substances appear in the vagina, which is scary to see. At this time, we generally recommend that women undergo gynecological examinations. Many people are very curious about what the white stuff in the vagina is. Let’s find out together! I hope everyone can understand this issue, and I also hope everyone can pay attention to their bodies.

Women with white objects in their vagina can use some anti-inflammatory drugs or lotions to clean them, pay attention to personal hygiene, and avoid eating raw, cold, and irritating foods.

Leucorrhea is a white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. Leucorrhea is divided into physiological leucorrhea and pathological leucorrhea. Pathological leucorrhea is mostly caused by inflammation. Common pathological leucorrhea in clinical practice include: colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea; white or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea; curd-like leucorrhea; watery leucorrhea, etc. The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen. When the secretion of estrogen reaches its peak, the leucorrhea will be abundant and transparent. It will be sticky like egg white and can be pulled into threads.

Normal women will have secretions, and the shape of the secretions also represents whether the woman is healthy. Normal secretions should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy or odorous smell. If the vaginal secretions have an odor, you should pay attention, as it may be a precursor to many gynecological diseases.

Excessive secretion, unpleasant odor, color and properties change, and some adverse symptoms appear. Most of these are caused by gynecological diseases. Female friends should pay attention to them. Experts say that if the secretion is dregs, there is a high probability that you have candidal vaginitis. In addition to candidal vaginitis, it may also be:

1. Chronic metritis

Women with chronic metritis often have sticky secretions like paste, large amounts, and often soak into underwear. Apart from feeling back pain, the patients have no other symptoms. In addition, female friends who use more estrogen preparations will also have this kind of secretions.

2. Fungal infection and diabetes

Female friends who are infected with fungi or suffer from diabetes may also have tofu dregs-like secretions. The main manifestation is a large amount of secretions, which are like tofu dregs and floc-like. It is often accompanied by vaginal itching, making women restless.

3. Trichomonas infection

Female friends who do not pay attention to hygiene or frequently go to public facilities and entertainment baths may be infected with Trichomonas, which will cause the secretions to be foamy and large in amount, accompanied by symptoms of vulvar and vaginal itching. If a vaginal secretion smear test is done, active Trichomonas can be detected. Experts remind that if the secretions are like tofu dregs, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Generally, a secretion examination and a routine gynecological examination can clarify the condition.

Now everyone should have a deeper understanding of the white stuff in the vagina. I hope that women can go to the hospital for a gynecological examination after finding white objects in their vagina. Or you can use anti-inflammatory drugs to clean it yourself first to ensure the cleanliness of your private parts. This will also make future treatments more convenient, which is of course better.
