Delayed menstruation and leucorrhea like tofu dregs

Adult women have regular menstruation every month. Some people have a very stable menstrual cycle, with a difference of no more than three to five days, while others have an irregular menstrual cycle. There are many reasons for irregular menstrual cycles in women. Some are due to work pressure, while others are due to other gynecological diseases. Only when the right cause is found can it be treated. Let’s understand why menstruation is delayed and leucorrhea looks like tofu dregs.

1. What is the cause of tofu dregs leucorrhea?

Okara-like or curd-like leucorrhea, accompanied by unbearable itching of the vulva. Even in public, one cannot help rubbing the vulva with hands to relieve the itching. Common in candidal vaginitis. Tofu-like leucorrhea refers to the discharge that looks like tofu dregs, which is white and lumpy. Because most leucorrhea is sticky and yellow, it is easy to distinguish. Tofu-like leucorrhea is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, but it is generally not easy to flow out and most of it remains in the vagina

Tofu-like leucorrhea is a typical fungal infection. Vaginal candidiasis is a common vaginal inflammation in gynecology, which is classified as "vaginal itch" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is prone to relapse. The causes of candidal vaginitis are increased glycogen in the vagina, increased acidity, and massive reproduction of Candida albicans among the fungi. Once discovered, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and take a sample of leucorrhea for testing to eliminate the cause. You can take 500,000 units of nystatin tablets orally three times a day, for a course of 7 days. Candidal vaginitis needs to be treated by both husband and wife, and gay men are advised to pay attention to this.

2. How to use medicine for tofu dregs leucorrhea

If the leucorrhea is in the shape of tofu dregs, it is considered to be candidal vaginitis, one of the common gynecological inflammations. The symptoms of candidal vaginitis mainly include increased leucorrhea, itching and burning sensation of the vulva and vagina, painful urination, redness and edema around the vulva, and in severe cases, ulcers, vulvar pain and local lymph node enlargement may occur. There are many treatment methods, of course, the first thing is to use antifungal drugs, which can be taken orally and topically, such as taking fluconazole orally (follow the doctor's orders or instructions), using PP powder lotion topically, and then using bisoprolol suppository or dacrylamide suppository for synchronous treatment in the vagina. Of course, underwear should be washed at high temperature and exposed to the sun. How to prevent an attack: Rinse the vulva and vagina with 2% to 4% soda water every night or every other day before going to bed.

3. The reasons for the dreg-like leucorrhea are:

1. Abuse of antibiotics: Improper use of antibiotics or abuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics may lead to serious consequences, because while antibiotics kill pathogenic bacteria, they also inhibit some beneficial bacteria. Uninhibited and foreign drug-resistant bacteria will take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers, including mold.

2. Use of birth control pills: Some women are prone to recurrence of candidal vaginitis after using birth control pills, because the estrogen in birth control pills can promote the formation of fungal hyphae, causing fungi to further invade the vaginal tissue.

3. Excessive cleaning: Improper cleaning and cleaning obsession are also hidden dangers of mold infection. Frequent use of gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfected sanitary pads, etc., destroys the microenvironment of the vagina itself, causing imbalance, reducing the vagina's self-antibacterial ability, making it easier for fungi to invade and cause disease.

4. Carried by spouse: The fungi in the vagina can also be transmitted to the male reproductive tract. When the fungi parasitize in the male reproductive tract, since the male reproductive tract is relatively dry and does not have the acidic environment that fungi like, there will be no obvious symptoms of fungal infection. However, the fungal spores in the male's body can be transmitted to the female again, causing direct infection caused by sexual intercourse.
