What is the cause of milky white and sticky leucorrhea?

At a time when gynecological diseases are prevalent, women are paying more and more attention to their reproductive health. Leucorrhea is a symptom of women's health that is relatively easy to identify, so women can easily observe changes in their leucorrhea. However, the symptoms of changes in leucorrhea vary greatly. Sometimes there are subtle changes, such as why the leucorrhea becomes milky white and sticky. Many women are always unable to tell what such changes in leucorrhea mean. To this end, let us understand why leucorrhea is milky white and sticky.

Whether the leucorrhea is healthy or not is a signal of whether there is disease in a woman’s private parts. If a woman’s leucorrhea is abnormal, it means that her private parts must be suffering from disease. The symptoms of abnormal leucorrhea in women include blood in the leucorrhea. The symptoms of blood in the leucorrhea in women are very serious. Abnormal leucorrhea in women with blood in the leucorrhea is likely to indicate a malignant tumor. If a woman's leucorrhea smells bad, she may have Trichomonas vaginitis.

Large quantity. The color is mostly transparent and appears like clear water, but the amount is so large that the underwear is often soaked. Apart from this, there are no other abnormal expressions. Such leucorrhea is abnormal and may be related to chronic vaginitis and cervical erosion. Further examination in the hospital is needed to confirm the diagnosis.

White mucous leucorrhea. Although it looks almost the same as normal leucorrhea on the surface, the amount is increased and it is a slightly sticky white mucus. This kind of leucorrhea is seen after using estrogen-containing drugs or when the pelvic cavity is congested. It is caused by increased secretion of cervical glands and vaginal mucosa and generally does not require special treatment.

Tofu-like leucorrhea. This is a unique symptom of candidal vaginitis, which is usually accompanied by severe itching in the vulva area. The vulva and vaginal walls are often covered with a layer of white film-like substance, which is not easy to wipe off. If it is wiped off, the red and swollen mucosa will be exposed, which is easy to be infected by fungi, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain. Especially people with diabetes or pregnant women should think about this, because pregnant women and people with diabetes have poor physical condition and low immunity, which makes them prone to fungal infections.

Foul-smelling and frothy leucorrhea. The main symptom is an increase in leucorrhea, which is white or yellow-green foamy and has a fishy odor. Foamy leucorrhea is the main feature of Trichomonas vaginitis. In addition, vaginal burning sensation, pain, and pain during sexual intercourse may also occur. Scratching often causes vulvitis, local congestion and swelling.

In fact, the factors that affect women's reproductive health are not only caused by diseases, but also include unhealthy lifestyles, such as staying up late, eating spicy foods, unclean sexual life, etc. Therefore, simply observing leucorrhea and then receiving timely treatment is not the best option. Instead, we should start from the details of life and take preventive measures to protect reproductive health to the greatest extent.
