Examination of routine pus cells in leucorrhea

The routine examination of pus cells in leucorrhea is something that many women particularly want to know about. Because for many women, when their leucorrhea is too much or too little, they think it will cause harm to their bodies. Therefore, many women want to know more about the routine examination of pus cells in leucorrhea. In order for you to understand it as soon as possible, please take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Pus cells in leucorrhea belong to fungi and trichomonas in routine examination of leucorrhea. After the leucorrhea is processed, the presence of trichomonas or fungi can be found under a microscope. If trichomonas or fungi are present, they will be indicated by "+". This symbol only means that you have been infected with Trichomonas or fungus, and does not indicate the severity of the infection.

Of course, the leucorrhea pus cells manifested by different diseases are different. Generally speaking, leucorrhea pus cells can be divided into 4 grades. The details will depend on the results of the relevant examinations of the woman. Generally speaking, degrees I to II are normal, and degrees III to IV are abnormal leucorrhea, indicating vaginal inflammation.

Routine examination of leucorrhea includes leucorrhea pH value, vaginal cleanliness, fungus and Trichomonas, etc.

Leucorrhea Normal leucorrhea pH value:

After puberty, due to the stimulation of ovarian sex hormones, the mucosal epithelial cells are rich in animal starch, which is converted into lactic acid after being decomposed by vaginal lactobacilli. As a result, the secretions in the vagina become weakly acidic, which can prevent pathogens from multiplying in the vagina. This is the self-cleaning function of the vagina. The pH value is often used to represent the acidity and alkalinity in laboratory tests. The normal pH is 4.5. When suffering from trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginitis, the pH value of leucorrhea increases and may exceed 5-6.

The routine vaginal cleanliness of leucorrhea can be divided into 4 levels:

Grade I: A large number of vaginal epithelial cells and vaginal bacilli are seen under the microscope.

Grade II: Under the microscope, vaginal epithelial cells, a few white blood cells, some vaginal bacilli, and a small number of miscellaneous bacteria or pus cells are seen.

Grade III: A small number of vaginal bacilli are seen under the microscope, with a large number of pus cells and miscellaneous bacteria.

Grade IV: No vaginal bacilli are seen under the microscope, and except for a few epithelial cells, the main components are pus cells and miscellaneous bacteria.

Grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ are normal, and grades Ⅲ to Ⅳ are abnormal leucorrhea, indicating vaginal inflammation.

Common fungi and trichomonas in leucorrhea:

After the leucorrhea is processed, its morphology can be used to detect the presence of Trichomonas or fungi under a microscope. If Trichomonas or fungi are present, regardless of their number, they will be indicated by "-". The "-" symbol only means that the woman is infected with Trichomonas or fungi, and does not indicate the severity of the infection.

Routine amine test for leucorrhea:

The leucorrhea of ​​patients with bacterial vaginosis may have a fishy odor, which is caused by the amines in the leucorrhea being volatile after being alkalized with potassium hydroxide.

Common clue cells of leucorrhea:

Clue cells refer to the presence of many bacilli aggregated at the edge of the vaginal epithelial cells in patients with bacterial vaginosis. The granular or stippled edges of the vaginal epithelial cells seen in the hanging drop smear are the most sensitive and specific sign of bacterial vaginitis. Clinical doctors can make a diagnosis of bacterial vaginitis based on a positive amine test and the presence of clue cells.

The above introduces the routine pus cell examination of leucorrhea for many women, so I believe that many women have gained more knowledge through the above introduction. Therefore, after fully understanding the above content, in order to recover as soon as possible and stay healthy, you must receive treatment as soon as possible to make your leucorrhea normal.
