Tofu-like discharge refers to the discharge that looks like tofu-like leucorrhea, which is milky white and in small pieces. Since most of the secretions are thick and yellow, they are very easy to distinguish. Tofu-like leucorrhea is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, but it is generally not easy to be discharged, and most of it remains in the female vagina. It is usually accompanied by severe itching in the private parts. The private parts 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 swollen mucosal surface will be exposed, which is easy to be infected by fungi, and is often accompanied by vulvar itching and burning pain. Especially diabetics or pregnant women are more prone to this situation, because pregnant women and diabetics have poor physical constitution and reduced immunity, which makes them prone to fungal infections.

If not treated promptly, it may cause gynecological inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and in severe cases, even malignant diseases such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer.
