There's a lot of white discharge down there.

When women reach puberty, they will start to secrete some white substances from their lower body. This substance is often called leucorrhea. In many cases, leucorrhea will reflect the health of women's bodies. If women pay attention to the changes in leucorrhea and seek timely examination and treatment when abnormalities occur, they can avoid the condition from becoming serious, which is very helpful in ensuring good health.

Why is there so much white discharge down there?

1. Colorless, paste-like leucorrhea. The secretion is white in color, but it is also accompanied by symptoms like stickiness like paste. The amount will suddenly increase and it will often stick to the underwear. If it is not treated for a long time, it may have an unpleasant smell and cause local infection with bacteria. This kind of leucorrhea is usually caused by stimulation and is related to not paying attention to hygiene in daily life.

2. Bean-dreg-like leucorrhea. If you usually find that your leucorrhea is large in amount, white in color, but in the form of bean-dreg-like flocs, and can cause vaginal itching, this situation is mostly due to fungal infection. Due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, the secretions may increase and have a strong fishy smell.

3. Foamy leucorrhea. If the leucorrhea is foamy and the amount is large, it may be related to Trichomonas infection. At this time, the secretion is white, but the inflammation persists. The color of the leucorrhea may gradually turn yellow, and may even be accompanied by external itching symptoms. A colposcopy or a smear test should be done at this time.

4. Purulent leucorrhea. This type of leucorrhea may be related to cervicitis or cervical erosion. The leucorrhea is white in color, but looks very sticky and purulent, with a strong odor. In severe cases, the leucorrhea is dark red and the color may change from yellow to yellow-green.
