What is the reason for the red discharge down there?

Normal female secretions should be transparent or white. If you find that your secretions are red, you should be careful, as it may be caused by the dissolution of blood. You should observe whether there is any odor or whether there are some sticky things, and go to the hospital in time to check whether it is leucorrhea.

Leucorrhea is the secretion discharged from the vagina. The vagina of a normal woman will discharge a small amount of white odorless secretion to lubricate the vaginal wall mucosa. It is usually more abundant before and after the menstrual period, during ovulation and pregnancy. If there are no other symptoms, it is "physiological leucorrhea" and no treatment is required.

However, if there are other colors, such as blue, red, yellow, white, black, etc., the amount of leucorrhea is too much or it is thick like pus, or thin like water, or there is a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the genitals, as well as back pain, weak legs, lower abdominal distension and other pathological conditions, then Chinese medicine refers to it as "leucorrhea disease".

When suffering from "leucorrhea", we cannot simply consider vaginal diseases. In addition to vaginitis, other diseases such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammation, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine adenocarcinoma, vaginal foreign bodies, etc. can all cause different types of "leucorrhea". However, from the perspective of Western medicine, cervicitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, candidal vaginitis, and senile vaginitis are more common clinically.
