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 and 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.

The formation of leucorrhea is closely related to estrogen, so pre-pubertal girls generally do not have leucorrhea. After puberty, the ovaries begin to develop and secrete estrogen to promote the development of the reproductive organs, and leucorrhea begins to appear at this time.

After menopause, women's vagina becomes dry and without leucorrhea due to the decline of ovarian function and lack of estrogen in the body.

Leucorrhea is a physiological phenomenon of women. Abnormal leucorrhea is a sign of female internal reproductive disease and should be taken seriously. Abnormal vaginal discharge may simply be an increase in amount, or it may also be accompanied by changes in color, texture, and odor. The characteristics of abnormal leucorrhea caused by different diseases are different. The common abnormal leucorrhea are as follows: yellow or yellow-green leucorrhea with pus and foul odor, which is more common in vaginitis, cervicitis and endometritis caused by purulent bacteria. Infections caused by gonorrhea are also accompanied by painful urination. In addition, foreign objects in the vagina can cause abnormal leucorrhea. Leucorrhea containing blood is common in genital tumors, inflammation, and intrauterine contraceptive devices. Depending on the amount of bleeding and the speed of bleeding, the leucorrhea can be dyed into different colors such as red, brown or black. Abnormal milky white foamy leucorrhea accompanied by vulvar itching is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection. Abnormal leucorrhea that is like tofu dregs or curd-like and accompanied by severe itching of the vulva is often caused by vaginal yeast infection.

Leucorrhea is a liquid that is secreted from the female reproductive tract and discharged through the vagina, which is beneficial to the human body. All healthy women have leucorrhea. Leucorrhea originates from the cervix and vagina, and contains mucus secreted by the cervix, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, epidermal cells shed from the uterus and vagina, as well as a small amount of white blood cells and non-pathogenic vaginal bacilli. It keeps the vagina at a certain humidity, which is very helpful in preventing the invasion of bacteria.

Healthy girls have almost no vaginal discharge before puberty. During puberty, the ovaries develop and begin to secrete estrogen, resulting in leucorrhea. The appearance of leucorrhea indicates that menstruation will occur in 2-3 years. If you don't have any vaginal discharge during puberty, this is an abnormal phenomenon. You should be alert to hymen occlusion or ovarian hypoplasia and seek medical attention.

Normal leucorrhea is white, sometimes transparent, sometimes sticky, and has no odor. During adolescence, leucorrhea is affected by estrogen and undergoes cyclical changes, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing. During ovulation, the leucorrhea is transparent and abundant, while at other times it is less and thicker. During puberty, the reproductive organs develop vigorously and the production of leucorrhea also increases. In addition, the secretion of these fluids will increase in hot weather, during physical activity, and during sexual impulses, and may sometimes leak out. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping the genitals clean and hygienic, and wash the vulva frequently with warm water. Even if the amount of leucorrhea is not too much under normal circumstances, you should wash the vulva frequently to reduce the growth and invasion of bacteria.
