What does low white blood cell count mean?

When many ladies check their leucorrhea, they will see a result of low white blood cells in the leucorrhea test, but many people don’t understand what this low white blood cell test means. Many people want to know whether it is good or bad to have low white blood cells in the leucorrhea test. Now let me explain to you what this low white blood cell test means.

Routine examination of vaginal discharge is a common gynecological examination. It uses five tests, including vaginal pH value, vaginal cleanliness, vaginal microbiology examination, to determine whether a woman has abnormal vaginal discharge. It is a physical examination related to women's physiological hygiene. Leucorrhea examination of white blood cells has certain application value in the diagnosis of female reproductive system infections, tumors, determination of estrogen levels and STDs. Examination of vaginal secretions can determine whether the vagina is inflamed and can further diagnose the cause of the inflammation.

When the cleanliness reaches level III or IV, in most cases it can be diagnosed as vaginal inflammation, such as bacterial vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, etc., providing a direct basis for the treatment of inflammation. Simple increased uncleanliness is often seen in nonspecific vaginitis. If vaginal Trichomonas is found during the examination, it can be diagnosed as Trichomonas vaginitis or Trichomonas infection. When vaginal fungi are found, it can be used as a basis for the diagnosis of candidal vaginitis. In addition, vaginal smears can be examined with special stains to detect gonococci, Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Streptococci, Bacillus subtilis, diphtheroids, etc., providing a basis for diagnosing related diseases.

Vaginal cleanliness is divided into 4 degrees: Level 1: The white blood cell count does not exceed the normal range, there are no trichomonas or fungi, and the leucorrhea secretions are relatively clean. (This is a normal situation) Second degree: There are slightly more white blood cells than in the first degree, and a few more epithelial cells. These cells are slightly more numerous when viewed under a microscope. (Normal situation) Degree 3: A small amount of vaginal lactobacilli and squamous epithelium, but a large amount of miscellaneous bacteria and white blood cells (indicating milder vaginal inflammation) Degree 4: No vaginal lactobacilli, but only a small amount of epithelial cells, but a large amount of white blood cells and miscellaneous bacteria. (Indicating relatively severe vaginal inflammation, such as fungal vaginitis and trichomonas vaginitis).

Generally, if a high number of white blood cells in the leucorrhea examination is found, your test is relatively positive, and if a low number of white blood cells in the leucorrhea examination is found, it means that you are fine. I have also given a relatively detailed explanation above about what this low number of white blood cells in the leucorrhea examination means. Friends who have never understood what this low number of white blood cells in the leucorrhea examination means can take a look at it. The most important thing is that I wish everyone good health.
