Leucorrhea becomes thick

The thickening of leucorrhea may be due to physiological reasons or organic diseases. For example, the formation of leucorrhea is closely related to the secretion of estrogen. With the menstrual cycle every month, leucorrhea will undergo certain changes. For example, during the ovulation period, estrogen secretion will reach its peak, and the leucorrhea will become relatively viscous at this time. Of course, we should also be alert to disease-related causes, the most common of which are cervical erosion and vaginitis.

Causes of thickening of vaginal discharge

1. Moderate to severe cervical erosion. The thick leucorrhea is caused by infection caused by the invasion of pathogens. Unclean sexual life, multiple abortions, excessive cleaning, etc. can all lead to cervical erosion.

2. Fungal vaginitis. The cause of this thick leucorrhea is infection with the pathogen Candida albicans, which often occurs in women who use hormones and antibiotics for a long time, diabetics and pregnant women. The main routes of transmission are sexual intercourse, baths, bath towels, etc.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis. This thick leucorrhea is caused by the pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis, which is transmitted through sexual intercourse or indirectly.

Viscous leucorrhea hazards

1. Impact on physical health: Abnormal leucorrhea caused by gynecological inflammation, if not treated in time, will aggravate the inflammation and cause great harm to the body. In mild cases, it will affect the body, and in severe cases, it may lead to serious consequences such as infertility, so it should be taken seriously.

2. Untimely treatment aggravates the condition: Abnormal leucorrhea is often a possible gynecological inflammation, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervicitis, candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological diseases. If not treated in time, it may cause symptoms such as itching and odor, which will make female friends miserable.

3. Cause infertility: Thick leucorrhea is a physiological manifestation of common gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion. If not treated in time, it may increase the infertility rate of women. After cervical erosion occurs, women's cervical secretions will increase significantly and become more viscous, containing a large number of white blood cells, which will have a serious impact on the movement and survival of sperm, thereby causing female infertility.

4. Impact on quality of life: Due to the appearance of abnormal leucorrhea, the quality of life of couples will be greatly affected, thus affecting the relationship between husband and wife and affecting family harmony.
