Liquid stains on women's underwear

Leucorrhea in female genitals is normal. This is a viscous white liquid. Normal leucorrhea has no odor, is colorless and transparent, and will not cause adverse effects on women's health. If the liquid is colored and has a strong odor, it may be due to some gynecological diseases. At this time, it should be taken seriously. So what are the reasons for liquid on women's underwear?

Leucorrhea is a sticky white liquid that flows out of the vagina of women. It is a mixture of secretions from the Bartholin's glands, cervical glands, endometrium, exudate from the vaginal mucosa, and desquamated vaginal epithelial cells. Leucorrhea contains lactobacillus, lysozyme and antibodies, so it has the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. During sexual intercourse, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which will lubricate the vagina and facilitate sexual intercourse.

Generally, the amount of leucorrhea increases during the middle of the menstrual period and becomes thin and transparent; after ovulation, the leucorrhea becomes thick, turbid and less in quantity. There is an increase in leucorrhea before menstruation and during pregnancy. Non-primate mammals appear during estrus.

Abnormal leucorrhea refers to an increase in the amount of secretion or abnormal characteristics (under normal circumstances, the vagina and vulva often have a small amount of secretions to keep them moist, which is called leucorrhea; it is composed of vaginal mucosal exudates, cervical glands and endometrial secretions, and contains vaginal epithelial exfoliated cells and white blood cells. [1] It is white, thin, paste-like or egg white-like, highly viscous, without a fishy odor, and small in quantity. It has no adverse effects on women's health and is called physiological leucorrhea. It is related to changes in the body's physiological condition. If a woman has white mucus like mucus or saliva flowing out of her vagina, accompanied by systemic or local symptoms, it is called pathological leucorrhea, which is mostly caused by physical weakness or phlegm and dampness, which is equivalent to vaginitis in Western medicine. However, routine examination of leucorrhea often does not find pathogens. Abnormal leucorrhea is manifested by changes in color, quality and quantity:

② Bean-dreg-like leucorrhea. Also known as cheesy, it is more common in candidal vaginitis and accompanied by vulvar itching.

③Bloody leucorrhea. If there is blood in the leucorrhea, you should be alert to cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. Cervical polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, senile vaginitis, and IUD insertion can also cause it.

④Watery leucorrhea. If the discharge is large and watery, endometrial cancer or fallopian tube cancer should be considered first. If abnormal leucorrhea is seen, the medical history should be obtained in detail, and the leucorrhea should be checked for the presence of Trichomonas or fungi. The cervix, uterus and pelvic cavity should be carefully examined, and a cervical smear, biopsy or diagnostic curettage should be performed if necessary. After the cause is identified, appropriate treatment should be given.

So, don't worry, this is normal. Change your underwear frequently and pay attention to personal hygiene.
