Black discharge from underwear

When changing and washing underwear, some women may find that the secretions on their underwear are black. The texture of this black secretion depends on the type of secretion. If it is black and condensed into lumps or very thin and light, and may be accompanied by an odor, these are abnormal manifestations, and the possibility of vaginal inflammation, cervical inflammation, ovarian or uterine problems cannot be ruled out.

1. Normal state

The color is clean and egg white-like, no bad smell, no itching. The amount of semen will increase during ovulation and late menstruation. Sometimes it turns into a white paste, which is normal. This leucorrhea is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal and endometrial gland secretions, which can keep the vagina moist. This moist environment can reduce the friction between the front and back walls of the vagina, protect the vaginal walls from damage, and make the vagina lubricated and elastic, which is beneficial to improving the quality of sexual life.

2. Yellow-green purulent with a foul odor

Wiping often produces foam and pus. Trichomonas vaginalis infection is generally suspected. Chronic cervicitis may also cause this type of discharge. If it occurs, you should seek medical attention promptly and receive targeted treatment.

3. Yellow, thin, watery, sticky, and smelly

It is generally suspected to be cervicitis or even cervical cancer. In this case, it is recommended to see a doctor to test the leucorrhea and cervical smear, and to treat the specific situation.

4. Grayish white, thin paste with odor

Sometimes it may be accompanied by blood, and it is thin and paste-like, darker in color, and sometimes slightly yellow. Most cases are bacterial vaginosis, which is a vaginal infection. Occasional infections can be cured by the vagina's own cleaning ability. However, if the infection occurs frequently or even lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Do not take medication on your own. If you use it carelessly, it may cause an imbalance in the vaginal flora and bring other problems. Vaginal washes sold on the market are also prohibited from use.

5. White tofu dregs or small pieces of curd

Often accompanied by genital itching. Fungal infection is suspected, and the most common fungal infection is Candida infection. Because of the itching symptoms and obvious discomfort to the body, most patients will seek medical attention immediately. Colonization infection caused by external bacterial invasion has a high recurrence rate. You need to pay attention to the cleanliness of yourself and your partner, and strengthen exercise to improve your physical fitness.

6. Brown water with musty smell

Reddish brown, sometimes dark brown, watery, and smells musty. Suspected side effects include endometritis, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, cervical polyps, and intrauterine contraceptive devices. Because secretions in this state generally do not cause problems such as vaginal itching, many people ignore it and do not take any action. If it lasts for more than 3 days and the attacks are irregular, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent serious illness.
