What is the reason why leucorrhea is like white paste?

For all female friends, some sticky substances will be stained on their underwear every day, which is what we usually call leucorrhea. Its existence does not mean that a woman's body is dirty. On the contrary, normal leucorrhea represents that the body is in a healthy state. So the question is, is it a disease if women's leucorrhea is like white paste? Let's take a look at the specific reasons why leucorrhea becomes paste-like.

1. Pasty leucorrhea may be caused by candidal vaginitis

Vaginal candidiasis is also called vaginal candidal infection. The prominent symptoms are increased vaginal discharge and severe itching of the vulva and vagina. In severe cases, the patient may be restless and in extreme pain, and may also experience frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. The leucorrhea is white and thick, resembling dregs of rice, the vaginal membrane is highly edematous, and there are white flaky films adhering to it, which are easy to peel off. Underneath is an eroded base of damaged mucosa or a shallow ulcer. In severe cases, ecchymosis may remain, which is a typical symptom of this disease. Another type of patient has a large amount of watery or purulent leucorrhea without white flakes, and the vaginal mucosa is moderately red and edematous, without severe itching or burning sensation, and only a feeling of moisture in the vulva.

2. Pasty leucorrhea may be caused by nonspecific vaginitis

Suffering from nonspecific vaginitis, the vulva and vagina have a feeling of heaviness and burning, the vaginal epithelium falls off in large quantities, the vaginal mucosa is congested, and there is obvious tenderness. In severe cases, general fatigue and lower abdominal discomfort may occur, the amount of leucorrhea is large and purulent or serous. The outflow of leucorrhea irritates the urethra, and frequent urination and painful urination may occur.

A large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge is caused by the redness and swelling of the cervix, which produces a large amount of abnormal secretions that flow into the vagina. In addition, obvious cervical lifting pain and obvious uterine tenderness are manifestations of cervicitis, which will lead to increased secretions, which will be discharged into the vagina through the cervix. Therefore, vaginitis cannot be diagnosed based solely on abnormal leucorrhea test results; it should be combined with the results of gynecological examination.
