Western medicine treatment

Under normal circumstances, there is often a small amount of secretions in the female vagina, which is mainly a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal, endometrium and fallopian tube secretions, called leucorrhea. Normal leucorrhea is egg white-like or white paste-like, has no fishy smell, and is in small amount. It is a natural defense function of women that decomposes into lactic acid under the action of lactobacilli, maintaining the normal acidic environment of the vagina (pH 4.5, mostly 3.8-4.4), thereby inhibiting pathogens that adapt to the weak alkaline environment. This is the self-cleaning function of the vagina.

If there are abnormalities in leucorrhea, such as large amount, changes in color, odor, or properties, it is often caused by inflammation or other lesions of the vagina, cervix, or internal genitalia, and timely treatment is required to avoid delaying the disease.
