1. What does 3+ squamous epithelial cells mean in a routine examination of leucorrhea?

Routine examination of leucorrhea for squamous epithelial cells 3 reminds of Trichomonas vaginitis. There are normal squamous epithelial cells, the normal number is 4, a little less is 3, which is also caused by inflammation. In a normal result, bacteria are negative, so the presence of bacteria 1 will indicate candidal vaginitis. Naturally it is not very serious, 4 is the maximum number, everything is normal - negative. The white blood cell count can be below 10, with the maximum number being 1.

2. Abnormal symptoms found in routine leucorrhea examination

Secretion is a transparent, viscous liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical ducts, and uterine walls, as well as leaked fluid from the vaginal mucosa and fallen squamous epithelial cells in the vagina. The secretion contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antigens, so it has the effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria. During sexual intercourse, secretions will increase, which has a lubricating effect on the vagina and is conducive to the couple's sexual life. Generally, there is more leucorrhea in the middle and late stages of menstruation, which is thinner and transparent; after ovulation, the secretions become thicker, turbid and less in quantity. There is a certain increase in leucorrhea before menstruation and during pregnancy.

Normal leucorrhea is milky white, sometimes completely transparent, sometimes thick and odorless. If there are abnormal changes in the color, quality, and quantity of secretions, it is called abnormal leucorrhea. Discharge is a physiological phenomenon of women, and abnormal leucorrhea is a signal of female genital disease.

(1) Milky white or yellowish brown foamy leucorrhea: This is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar pain and itching.

(2) Thin, watery or dregs-like leucorrhea: a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar pain, itching or burning pain.

(3) Dark gray, homogeneous, fishy-smelling discharge: The odor is particularly strong; it is often seen in vaginal bacterial infections.

(4) Thick discharge: Slightly yellow or yellow-green: Thick and often has a strange smell. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical malignant tumors, vaginal malignant tumors or foreign body residue in the female vagina can also cause thick secretions.

(5) Colorless, transparent, viscous secretions: They are egg white-like and have properties similar to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount of secretion is significantly increased compared to usual. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian imbalance, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

(6) Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood in the discharge, you should consider cervical malignant tumors, endometrial cancer, cervical cysts or cervical fibroids, etc. Insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive procedure can also cause bloody vaginal discharge.

(7) Brown leucorrhea: Continuous discharge of brown leucorrhea, if accompanied by a foul odor, is usually due to advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or cervical fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellowish or reddish-brown leucorrhea, you should be aware of the possibility of cervical adenocarcinoma.
