What are the dangers of women having leucorrhea?

Women's vaginas often secrete leucorrhea and other secretions. Female friends often encounter abnormal leucorrhea. For example, sometimes they find that the leucorrhea is like tofu dregs. This is definitely an abnormal phenomenon. It is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain or genital itching, etc. At this time, it should be taken seriously because it is more harmful to health.

The harm of leucorrhea from women:

Generally speaking, abnormal leucorrhea is caused by gynecological diseases. Normal leucorrhea should be milky white or colorless and transparent, with a slightly fishy smell or no smell. The amount and texture of leucorrhea are affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, and vary periodically with the menstrual cycle, with varying amounts, textures and thicknesses. This white secretion is characterized by being white, thick, and resembling curd or tofu dregs, because it is made up of desquamated epithelial cells and mycelium, yeast, and pseudohyphae. The main cause of this leucorrhea symptom is the imbalance of Candida in the vagina. Leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is very harmful, so don't take it lightly. The most likely cause of leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is candidal vaginitis. Leucorrhea in the form of tofu-dregs is a typical feature of candidal vaginitis, which is often caused by Candida albicans infection and is more common in pregnant women and diabetic patients. Young women wearing tight nylon pants can increase the humidity and temperature of the perineum, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi.

Leucorrhea that is in the form of tofu residue may also be a dangerous sign of other cervical diseases or vaginal diseases. If treatment is not timely, serious sequelae may occur, such as gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis. In severe cases, terminal illnesses such as vaginal cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer may occur. Many middle-aged women who get cancer do so because they did not pay attention to abnormal leucorrhea when they were young.

As the name suggests, candidal vaginitis is caused by fungal infection and is more common in young girls, pregnant women, diabetic patients, and postmenopausal patients who have been treated with large doses of estrogen. Patients with candidal vaginitis present with symptoms such as increased leucorrhea, itching and burning sensation of the vulva and vagina, painful urination and painful sexual intercourse. There is often redness and edema around the vulva, and the epidermis undergoes various changes; very shallow vesicular papules may occur; eczematous erosions may also form; in some cases, tiny white pustules may occur, and ulcers may occur in severe cases.
