Light red discharge from underwear

In daily life, women often see some secretions on their underwear, some are white, some are light yellow, and even some are light red. These secretions can help female friends determine whether they have gynecological diseases. White, odorless secretions are normal and every girl has them. However, if there is light red discharge on your underwear, it may be a sign of illness, and it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

1. There is blood on the underwear

1. Red discharge from the urethra is often a clinical feature of a tumor;

2. If there is blood in the anus, bright red, it is considered that anal fissure or hemorrhoids have occurred;

3. Repeated appearance of dark red blood in the anus is often a sign of malignant lesions in the rectum or large intestine.

2. The leucorrhea on the underwear is abnormal:

1. When the amount, color, or smell of leucorrhea changes, it indicates that a disease has occurred.

2. If there is blood mixed in the leucorrhea, it is usually caused by severe uterine erosion, endometrial cancer, etc.

3. If the leucorrhea is like meat washing water and has a foul odor, it is often caused by uterine cancer. In a few people, it may also be caused by fallopian tube cancer.

4. If the amount of leucorrhea is large and it is egg white or white watery, it often indicates uterine erosion and ovarian dysfunction;

5. Female patients with tuberculosis, anemia, diabetes or physical weakness often have increased leucorrhea, but without odor.

6. If the leucorrhea is white and paste-like, or curd-like, or bean curd-like leucorrhea, it often reveals fungal infection;

7. If the leucorrhea is yellow or yellow-green and thin and purulent, it is mostly caused by purulent bacterial infection. If it is accompanied by a foul odor and vulvar itching, it is mostly vaginitis.

3. Menstrual blood is too dark or too light

When a female patient has her menstruation, if her menstrual blood is dark purple, thick, and contains blood clots or is like bean paste, Chinese medicine believes that this is a sign of uterine deficiency and cold; if her menstrual blood is light in color and resembles rice water, this is a sign of true yang deficiency and extreme yang.

Soaking of women's underwear is often caused by leucorrhea. The main component of leucorrhea is cervical mucus. During a normal menstrual cycle, cervical mucus undergoes cyclic changes in quality and quantity as the levels of estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries vary.

Generally speaking, at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, the cervical mucus secretion is less, only a light yellow viscous liquid. As the level of estrogen secreted by the ovaries continues to increase, the secretion of cervical mucus gradually increases, and the water content of the mucus increases, becoming thinner and transparent, until it reaches its climax during ovulation. Therefore, the closer you are to ovulation, the more obvious the feeling of your underwear getting wet will be, and sometimes you may even see mucus.

Therefore, women's underwear getting wet some time before menstruation is a physiological phenomenon, not a gynecological disease. Of course, if the amount of leucorrhea increases frequently, or changes in color (such as yellowing or redding) or develops a special odor, it may be a gynecological disease.
