What to do if you always have leucorrhea

It is well known that leucorrhea is a common secretion of women and a normal physiological phenomenon. Of course, under normal circumstances, the leucorrhea secreted by women is transparent, has no odor, and the amount is moderate. It will not cause any discomfort to the body, but if the secretion increases one day and is accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms, it may be other gynecological diseases. In short, abnormal leucorrhea should be taken seriously.

Leucorrhea is a normal vaginal discharge in women. If the secretion is excessive, it will cause a series of symptoms.

Excessive leucorrhea is one of the most common symptom in gynecological clinic, which refers to the increase of vaginal secretions.

Many people seek medical attention due to excessive vaginal discharge. However, sensitivity to leucorrhea varies greatly from person to person. Some women have a lot of leucorrhea but do not feel any discomfort, while others, although their reproductive tract secretions are normal or only slightly increased, often have a wet feeling in the vulva and feel confused and uncomfortable, so they are eager to seek treatment. This is related to one's personality, social status and cultural level. In fact, all healthy women under the influence of estrogen have reproductive tract discharge, commonly known as leucorrhea, which should not be understood as a pathology. Among the patients who complain of increased leucorrhea, some have physiological leucorrhea, normal cervical fluid, or normal exfoliation of vaginal epithelial cells. Therefore, for patients with increased leucorrhea, we should first distinguish whether it is physiological or pathological leucorrhea.

General treatment

Treatment for excessive vaginal discharge

1: Seeking medical treatment promptly is one of the treatments for excessive leucorrhea. If you experience any increase in vaginal discharge or other discomfort, go to the hospital immediately for treatment.

2. Wear less tight pants: such as jeans, and avoid wearing tight nylon underwear, choose cotton underwear.

3. Enhance immunity: This is also a method to treat excessive leucorrhea. Keep exercising to enhance your physical fitness; get enough sleep, eat a proper diet, and have a balanced nutrition. Eat more foods rich in vitamins.

4. Not using sanitary pads on a daily basis: Some female friends are worried that leucorrhea will stain their underwear or are too lazy to wash their underwear, so they always use sanitary pads on a daily basis. This practice is not advisable. When you are not menstruating, try not to use sanitary pads. Wash your vulva with clean water and change your underwear every night. In addition, do not use various medicinal liquids to clean the vagina, as this will damage the internal environment of the vagina and cause vaginitis.

5. Psychological adjustment: This is a very important method for treating excessive leucorrhea. Often find things that make you happy, or tend to flowers and plants, appreciate music, maintain a peaceful mental state, and avoid being overly excited, angry, and impatient.

6. Regular check-ups: When treating excessive vaginal discharge, you should have regular check-ups even if you do not feel any discomfort. It is best to have a comprehensive gynecological examination at least once a year.
