When will the white belt come?

When women enter puberty, they will feel that their lower body is wet for a few days and their underwear is not clean. This is leucorrhea. Generally, the leucorrhea will last for about 3-5 days, and sometimes it may last for a week. The leucorrhea will come 14 days after the end of menstruation. For girls who have not yet had their first menstruation, leucorrhea will appear 14 days after the menstruation.

What is leucorrhea?

After women enter puberty, their lower body will always be wet, and their underwear will no longer be clean. The secretion is either transparent and colorless, or milky white like cheese, and sometimes slightly yellow, bloody, or brown. Although there is no odor at ordinary times, the vulva will smell bad if the underwear is not changed after one or two days without washing the vulva. This is the effect of the large amount of estrogen secreted after the ovaries develop, and is medically known as leucorrhea.

Is your vaginal discharge normal in color?

1. Colorless, transparent, sticky leucorrhea: It is egg white-like and similar in properties to the mucus secreted by the cervical glands during ovulation, but the amount is significantly increased. Generally, the possibility of chronic endocervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal adenosis, or well-differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma should be considered.

2. White or grayish yellow foamy leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of Trichomonas vaginitis and may be accompanied by vulvar itching.

3. Curd-like leucorrhea: It is a characteristic of candidal vaginitis, often accompanied by severe vulvar itching or burning pain.

4. Gray, homogeneous leucorrhea with a fishy smell: common in bacterial vaginosis.

5. Purulent leucorrhea: yellow or yellow-green in color, sticky, and often smelly. It can be caused by acute vaginitis, cervicitis, and endocervicitis caused by bacteria such as Trichomonas or gonococci. Pyometra, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer or foreign objects retained in the vagina can also cause pus-like leucorrhea.

6. Bloody leucorrhea: If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical polyps or submucosal fibroids should be considered. Insertion of an intrauterine device can also cause bloody leucorrhea.

7. Watery leucorrhea: Continuous discharge of watery leucorrhea like rice washing water with a strong odor is generally caused by advanced cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or submucosal fibroids with infection. If you have intermittent discharge of yellow or red watery vaginal discharge, you should be aware of the possibility of fallopian tube cancer.
